🚨 New @amnesty report
Suspected perpetrators of crimes under international law in the Central African Republic (CAR) are at risk of escaping justice unless the Special Criminal Court (SCC) receives the funding it requires to continue investigating and prosecuting cases.
New report out : CAR: Special Criminal Court on the brink of collapse
- Special Criminal Court at risk of closure by 2028 with thousands of victims awaiting justice
- Other than the UN and the EU, no state providing financial support to the court
- National courts lack resources and independence to take on the court's cases

US sanctions on @IntlCrimCourt aim to destroy it, grant impunity to perpetrators, & deny justice to victims of genocide, crimes against humanity, & war crimes
The EU and its states must actively protect the Court by activating the EU Blocking Statute.
Next week's Foreign Affairs Council and European Council will be vital for a unified EU response.

This resolution represents a serious escalation in Islamophobia, disinformation & hate speech within the @EUparliament
People across Europe want dignity, acceptance, safety, jobs, housing & schools
Politics of fear & division are a dangerous distraction

Parliament urged greater vigilance against Islamist entryism, including funding controls, scrutiny of networks, and stronger cross-border cooperation.

French authorities must act upon their human rights obligations and stop the disproportionate police response seen in recent days to student protests
Call from @Amnesty International said ahead of today’s planned nationwide demonstrations. amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…
📢 @amnistiamexico's @Norma_GonAI & Adriana Sánchez Gómez met EU & member state officials in Brussels.
On the agenda: Mexico's crisis of disappearances.
133,000+ people are disappeared or missing in Mexico, affecting the disappeared, their families & communities.
Our calls to the EU?
👉Keep disappearances high on the EU & member state agenda with Mexico, from summits to HR dialogues
👉Lend full diplomatic & technical support to women searching for disappeared loved ones & to Mexico's protection mechanism for rights defenders to help them
Families & communities of the disappeared face persistent human rights violations that do not cease until they find the whereabouts of the disappeared person.
Crucial reading for EU & member state officials & all who care about human rights in Mexico🇲🇽

Greece: The criminal charges against Panayote Dimitras and Tommy Olsen are a gross misuse of anti-smuggling legislation and are not backed by evidence amn.st/6015BGv819
🚨 @ICEgov must be abolished immediately.
A new investigation by @amnestyusa @amnesty
documents a chilling pattern of human rights violations in the @POTUS administration's immigration operations.
amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…
👉Arbitrary & discriminatory detentions
👉Excessive and lethal use of force
👉Unlawful killings
👉Suppression of protests
👉Illegal surveillance
👉Detention conditions that should be investigated as torture, and
👉Possible forced disappearances.
These are not isolated incidents.
They are part of a recurring pattern of abuses sowing fear in entire communities.
When an institution operates with violence, racism & impunity, reforming it is not enough.
We demand accountability for abuses & an immigration system based on rights & dignity.
Time to #AbolishICE.
📣@Sihanet's @Halayalkarib and @amnesty's Sudan team met EU and member state officials in Brussels.
Their message? The war in Sudan is a war on civilians.
As EU, Latin American & Caribbean leaders meet around UNGA81, security is on everyone's mind.
@amnesty & 13 other organizations share concerns that securitization of politics & policies is being misused to target rights defenders & civil society, and undermine the rule of law.
CELAC and EU leaders must be clear. There can be no sustainable security, responsible value chains & sustainable development goals without human rights.
Both sides must
➡️Commit to protect civic space & rule of law
➡️Act for mutual accountability in upholding rights commitments

⚽Israel’s participation in the UEFA Nations League is a betrayal
Despite clear evidence that Israel’s football association continues to support illegal settlements, Israel's men’s football team will participate in the UEFA Nations League this autumn. amn.st/6017BGdzID
🚨New @amnesty briefing🚨
In eastern DRC, Rwanda-backed M23 fighters have been forcing miners to work in coltan mines, often underground for over a week at a time.
Minerals linked to M23 abuses are prevalent in electronic devices used worldwide.
amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2…
The EU & its member states must press M23 to stop all abuses in mining sites it controls, including Rubaya & Lomera mines.
And press Rwanda to ensure Rwandans have no role in abusive mining operations – if they do, they should be investigated and held to account.
