Iranian authorities cracked down on nationwide protests: at least 600 killed, over 10,000 arrested, one protester sentenced to death. With only 1% of the internet still active, the full scale of violations remains hidden.
Screenshot of a Linkedin post by Amelia Shindelar, which reads: "On the morning of January 7, 2026, an agent of the US Federal Government killed a human rights defender. Renee Good was peacefully working to protect the human rights & fundamental freedoms of her neighbors by monitoring the actions of the United States Immigration & Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE). In violation of the US Constitution (4th, 5th and 14th amendments), the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 9) & the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (Article 9) ICE has been systematically detaining immigrants. Across the US human rights defenders are organizing & taking action to document these violations by taking video footage with their cellphones and recording vital information, such as location, number of agents involved & individuals detained. This is vitally important work to document the abuses happening in our country. Renee was killed for protecting the human rights of others."
Shocking news out of Minnesota. On my recent trip there I met with numerous human rights defenders who told me of the violence they faced from law enforcement officers, and the legacy of law enforcement killings in the city. (1/2)
1/7 With Trump’s “peace plan” on the table, some EU states will seize it as an excuse to drop pressure on Israel: Germany, Italy & others will claim “diplomacy is working”, so no need to sanction ministers or suspend the EU-Israel trade deal.
That’s nonsense. Here’s why ⤵️🧵
FIDH denounces heinous US Sanctions against leading Palestinian Human Rights Organisations and calls on states to act in the strongest terms, including the EU, which needs to activate its Blocking Statute.

“At this point, everyone knows (... ) The answer, to save lives, save humanity and save yourselves from complicity in engineered mass starvation, is to open all the borders, at all hours, to the thousands of trucks, millions of meals and medical supplies, ready and waiting nearby,”
“The militarised food distribution scheme has weaponised starvation and curated suffering. Distributions at GHF sites have resulted in extreme levels of violence and killings, primarily of young Palestinian men, but also of women &children, who have gone to the sites in the hope of receiving food”
#Gaza joint statement: Israel threatens to ban major aid organisations as starvation deepens.
"Our mandate is to save lives, but due to the registration restrictions civilians are being left without the food, medicine, and protection they urgently need.”

The mathematics of starvation: how #Israel caused a famine in #Gaza.
By Israel’s own figures, the amount of aid reaching Gaza falls well below subsistence levels.
Airdrops are expensive,inefficient & deadly. Starvation is caused by state policy, not logistics.

Extraordinary scenes in Kyiv and Lviv tonight as young protestors defy martial law to protest against govt destruction of the independence of the country’s anti corruption agencies. First mass protest in Kyiv since martial law. This still from Ukraine Pravda video on X.
Aid alone cannot stop this catastrophe.
We cannot continue to watch children killed and say ‘we are making progress’.
We cannot watch food rot in aid trucks while people starve and say ‘this is working.’

➡️Close to 400 Palestinians have been killed in less than a month while attempting to access food aid.
➡️Gazans are having to make the choice between facing starvation & risking death while waiting for food.
⚠️We need an immediate end to the blockade & for humanitarians to be allowed to do their jobs.
"Governments have collaborated in decades of deregulation, neoliberalism, and neglect, leading to the collapse of workers’ rights. This has disenfranchised millions and paved the way for extremism, authoritarianism and the billionaire coup against democracy that now threatens democracy itself."
#Lebanon: 6 months after the ceasefire agreement, #Israel 's military actions and occupation of territory continue, with near-daily airstrikes and airspace violations.
The path to recovery and peace is contingent on accountability & compliance with international law.
