ARTICLE 19 condemns the all-out assault on freedom of expression during the conflict in Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territories.

It perpetuates violence and limits #AccessToInfo . We call for an urgent ceasefire + respect for free speech.article19.org/resources/isra…

نسرین ساعاتی پیش با سپردن وثیقه و قبل از برگزاری دادگاه و … از زندان آزاد شد.

On the anniversary of Nov 15, 2019 we once again must demand justice for victims of the Islamic Republic’s bloodiest massacre.

As people protested the rising fuel prices the authorities enacted a week long #InternetShutdown while massacring an estimated 1500 protesters. #ابان۹۸

We can't say this loud enough: the blackout facing Paltel and Jawwal will not be recoverable until fuel has been restored. As the two largest operators in the area, the consequences will be devastating. Here's what you should know about what a blackout means for Gaza. THREAD:

While congratulating the incredible force and power of #NargesMohammadi on this well-deserved award for the #NobelPeacePrize2023 we take this opportunity to also call for her immediate release and the release of all others imprisoned for their fight for #HumanRights in #Iran

2023 #NobelPeacePrize laureate Narges Mohammadi’s brave struggle has come with tremendous personal costs. The Iranian regime has arrested her 13 times, convicted her five times, and sentenced her to a total of 31 years in prison and 154 lashes. Mohammadi is still in prison.

An Egyptian graduate student and human rights advocate accused of spreading “fake news” was sentenced to three years in prison in Egypt, a harsh conclusion to a case that had inspired a mass outpouring of support in Italy, where he studied, and in Egypt. nyti.ms/3DkCua8

Sarina Esmailzadeh would have celebrated her 17th birthday today.

ARTICLE 19’s mahsa alimardani and Amnesty UK's Nina Navid honour Sarina and her powerful legacy of dissent.

And she will not be forgotten.

Iran: A 21-yo gay man says he was sexually assaulted by security forces after his arrest during protests. Me and others have received similar testimonies. Rights groups say Islamic Republic been systematically weaponising rape, sexual abuse. #LGBT #PrideMonth

The Islamic Republic must be held accountable for its vast human rights crimes. We are appalled at the tragic and violent executions of these three protestors. No words.

We are horrified to hear that Saleh Mirhashemi, Saeed Yaghoubi, and Majid Kazemi, arrested during protests, were executed today in #Iran .

We ask the world to continue to sanction and pressure the Islamic Republic until it stops these horrific crimes.
