In a new report, HRW finds that the implementation and oversight of the EU regulatory framework governing export of surveillance technologies has serious flaws, resulting in the tech being sold to those who have previously used it in violation of international human rights and humanitarian law. 🧵⤵️

When anti-Rohingya sentiment turned into gunshots in Myanmar in 2017, 16-year-old Maung Sawyeddollah was forced to flee. What happens when you’re forced to leave your home? Where do you go? 🎙️In EP2 of The Great Unrooting, we hear from people around the world who have faced these questions.

Human Rights Watch interviewed several dozen witnesses and survivors, corroborated their accounts by satellite imagery, and analyzed and verified photographs and videos.

"It was a magical box, and if he had known what I know now, maybe he wouldn't have opened it." 🎙️ In the fourth episode of The Great Unrooting, witnesses and experts recount the role that social media played in the story of Maung, a Rohingya refugee. Listen now: Spotify: https://bit.ly/4cRPmFV

On France 24, HRW's executive director Philippe Bolopion describes a "new phenomenon" of "dangerous rhetoric" being used by world leaders, indicating an open disregard for international law. 🔊Watch now:

Zambia should provide accountability for its failure to clean up a contaminated mine site that is responsible for the ongoing lead poisoning of children. HRW’s Africa advocacy director calls for defining rights-based standards across the continent.

Australian police have arrested Ben Roberts-Smith, a decorated Australian soldier who stands accused of committing five counts of war crimes in Afghanistan between 2009 and 2012. This is a long-awaited but significant step toward accountability. HRW's @dgavshon.bsky.social speaks more:

24-year-old Maung Sawyeddollah is a refugee living in NYC, in a country that no longer welcomes people like him. In the fifth episode of The Great Unrooting, host Ngofeen Mputubwele charts Maung’s journey out of the refugee camp in Bangladesh and into New York City. 🔊: https://bit.ly/4uz8Pma

It's estimated that “gig” or “platform” work grew by 90 percent from 2016 to 2020. Yet labor protections for those workers have not kept up. In a new report, HRW documents the experiences of platform workers across nine countries, and urges governments to adopt strong standards to protect workers.

Hungarians have brought an end to Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule as Prime Minister of Hungary, with opposition Tisza party, led by Péter Magyar, winning the election. The incoming government needs to restore the rule of law, end rule by decree and restore press freedom and assembly rights.

Got bored, made a video. Thought it was easier than typing out my thoughts on this. Key thing is most people don't see the majority of work which advocacy achieves. It isn't quick though, and that is hard. It also involves having to sway people to your side, which is even harder a lot of the time.

In this episode, hear about the "pillars strategy" to defeat authoritarianism. Rev. Naomi Washington-Leapheart, Strategic Partnerships Director at @praeyesright.bsky.social, says the Christian church could take a stand against the weaponization of religion to advance authoritarianism: bit.ly/4kxY9Ai

We have never seen corruption like this. This conduct is so beyond the pale that Donald Trump and Todd Blanche must be removed from office immediately.

Trump called Fox News this morning to announce it: “8 PM is happening. There will be an attack like they have not seen.” Kharg Island is burning. Congress has the power to stop this war. Call the Capitol switchboard now: 202-224-3121. Call script in thread.

So many of these problems could just be solved with men going to therapy.
