- We've written to PM @ScottMorrisonMP asking to correct the public record on the false statement he made regarding refugees in the #ParkHotel on @BenFordham's program on @2GB873. Most of the people being held are refugees and are languishing in limbo due to his govt's policies
- We demand that the Australian government do everything in its power to end the ongoing crisis. #ProtectCivilians #EndIsraeliApartheid #CeasefireNow

- The recent attack on Hazara school children is the latest in a long history of persecution against Hazara in #Afghanistan. We must not forget those lost. Take urgent action against the persecution of Hazara in Afghanistan, attend a solidarity vigil. 👇 #StopHazaraGenocide

- Our joint report with @hrw uncovers widespread abuses in Western Tigray against the Tigrayan population. These amount to crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing. The Ethiopian govt must put an end to these atrocities & allow humanitarian agencies access.
00:00 - Australia has disappointingly chosen not to defend international justice and the human rights of Palestinians who have lived under a brutal, military occupation for decades. Australia must use its influence at the UN to respect and defend international law.Today’s UN General Assembly resolution makes crystal-clear that Israel’s 57-year occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, in flagrant violation of international law, cannot be allowed to continue any longer. amn.st/6012oMXei

00:00 - Thank you Gillian Triggs for your courageous work defending human rights in Australia over the last 5 years.
- #TransRights = #HumanRights 💛 We are outraged by the hate speech and transphobic displays that took place in #Melbourne over the weekend. Transphobia, white supremacy and bigotry has zero place in our society. 🧵
