    We hope #cataloniatrial will respect highest standards of due process. Charges against @jcuixart and Jordi Sanchez I Picanyol interfere w/ activists right to peaceful expression & assembly & need to be dismissed bit.ly/2QdmNKP

    Today, @AdilurKhan, member of our General Assembly, and his @odikhar_bd colleague ASM Nasiruddin Elan were sentenced to 2 years in prison for exposing extrajudicial killings in #Bangladesh. This decision is unbelievably unfair. We call for their release ๐Ÿ”— bit.ly/3EBTXLV
