Bugün ağır bir adaletsizliğe tanıklık ettik. Bu karar yalnızca Taner, Özlem, İdil, Günal ve ailelerine yönelik değil, aynı zamanda adalete inanan herkese ve insan hakları aktivizmine yönelik ezici bir darbedir.

11 activists including @AmnestyUK colleagues could face 15 years in prison in Turkey just for their #HumanRights work.
They have done nothing wrong.

This is a huge victory for @MarcusRashford. It’s an even greater victory for children, and #childrensrights, and highlights the powerful role young adults can play in ensuring the rights of their younger counterparts are realised. Read our blog here: bit.ly/RightToFood

Everyone must be able to stay safe during this pandemic.
No one should be scared to get vital healthcare.
Take action to make sure the government protects the most vulnerable during the #coronavirus lockdown: amn.st/601717Imx
Thanks to support from @MigrantVoiceUK

Right now, many people who are migrants or seeking asylum don’t even have access to the most basic things. Join us and @AmnestyUK in telling the government to make sure everyone is safe during this pandemic, no matter who they are or where they're from: amnesty.org.uk/keep-everyone… ❤️

Perhaps now more than ever in these most challenging times we recognise the good in our area, that Teesside is a welcoming place and football will one day again play a massive part in our community on the field. For now, it’s a force for good off it.

The brilliant @VickNHope explains why we need to help take action with @AmnestyUK for women at risk of domestic abuse during #lockdown, particularly migrant women. 👏
At times like these we need to look after those most at risk. We’ve been asked to stay at home but for more than 2million in the UK that means lockdown with an abuser. At @AmnestyUK we are working to transform the Domestic Abuse Bill, to urgently protect EVERYONE who needs help.
