He recibido informaciones preocupantes sobre difamaciones contra la ofraneh y defensoras de los derechos del pueblo Garífuna en #Honduras por supuesta incitación a la invasión de tierras en Punta Gorda.

🇺🇳 As UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders, I submit two thematic reports to the United Nations each year, to address critical issues faced by #HumanRightsDefenders. 📑 Discover the themes & insights of my past reports on my website: srdefenders.org/the-mandate/th…
This International Day of the Victims of #EnforcedDisappearances, I am thinking of all the human rights defenders who have been subjected to this cruel & callous crime, as well as the families & communities seeking to uncover the fate of their loved ones. srdefenders.org/resource/inter…
Heureuse d'apprendre que la FDDH algérienne Kamira Nait Sid a été libérée de prison à la fin de sa peine de 3 ans. J'ai rencontré Kamira lors de ma visite en Algérie. Elle défend pacifiquement les droits de l’ethnie amazighe et n’aurait jamais dû être criminalisée Algeria Mission Geneva
Happy to hear that Algerian WHRD Kamira Nait Sid has been released from prison at the end of her 3-year sentence. I met Kamira during my Algeria visit. She is a peaceful defender of ethnic Amazigh rights and should never have been criminalised for her work Algeria Mission Geneva
Delighted to hear this news, though the three should never have been detained in the first place. The charges they face must be dropped Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Int Trade
#Venezuela: la criminalización de las personas defensoras de los derechos humanos forma parte del patrón de graves violaciones de los derechos humanos en el contexto de las elecciones presidenciales del 28 de julio. Las autoridades deben poner fin a estas prácticas Misión Permanente de Venezuela en Ginebra
#Georgia 🇬🇪: UN expert Mary Lawlor UN Special Rapporteur HRDs calls for an end to the targeted & sustained repression of human rights defenders during & following the adoption of the "foreign agent law", highlighting impunity & possible encouragement by government officials. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
In 2023, I visited #Georgia to examine the environment for HRDs in the country. Since then, the situation has deteriorated drastically. I urge the authorities to consider the implementation of the recommendations in my report to the HRC earlier this year. srdefenders.org/georgia-target…
I'll be closely following the court hearing in the case against climate activists and human rights defenders John Mark Rozendaal & Alec Connon in New York, #USA tomorrow. I express my strong concern at the charges brought against them U.S. Mission Geneva
V. concerned by the latest detention of the MSF International ship, the Geo Barents, in #Italy. In May I wrote to the gov expressing serious concern at this pattern. Baseless accusations against #HRDs saving lives at sea&ships being detained leads to lives lost. This must end Italy UN Geneva

Very happy to see this- the appalling cruelty obliterating women and girls in Afghanistan makes me wonder why China, Russia and Algeria would not do the right thing as the other members of the#UNSC. Shame on you. UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett
2023 წელს მე ვიყავი #საქართველოში ქვეყანაში უფლებადამცველთა მდგომარეობის შესაფასებლად. მას შემდეგ, ვითარება მკვეთრად გაუარესდა. მოვუწოდებ უფლებამოსილ პირებს განიხილონ იმ რეკომენდაციების შესრულება, რომლებიც United Nations Human Rights Council ამ წლის დასაწყისში წარვუდგინე srdefenders.org/georgia-target…
