Torture can occur during arrest. Prison health staff play a critical role in identifying this during the initial medical assessment. But it’s not enough to train staff once. That’s why we DIGNITY International coach prison staff who continuously train & support their peers.
Accountability is crucial for healing and unity⚖️ Check out our interview with DIGNITY International partners Naomi Tulay-Solanke and Seidu Swaray, where they discuss the vital role of Liberia's new war crimes court in ending #impunity ⤵️ #Liberia dignity.dk/en/news/war-cr…

Together with Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, REDRESS & Open Society Justice Initiative we've submitted an amicus curiae brief with the ICC: There are no legal obstacles to issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity 👇 icc-cpi.int/sites/default/…
Horrific cases of torture by the regime have been documented by Viasna & DIGNITY International: beatings, psychological torture, forced confessions, sexual threats & even rape. We will ensure those responsible for these heinous crimes are held fully accountable. spring96.org/en/news/115980
As Lukashenka's abuses in Belarus send ripple effects far beyond the country’s borders, now is the time to recommit to the fight for justice. Proud to share my op-ed with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and stand in solidarity with Belarusians everywhere. thehill.com/opinion/intern…
JUSTICE FOR BELARUS.
