The government must now protect protest rights and make sure counter-terror laws are not misused.
Amnesty will continue working to ensure the Government respects both the spirit and the letter of today’s ruling.

The Government has increasingly reached for sweeping counterterrorism powers to silence critics and suppress dissent.
But today’s ruling draws a clear line in the sand.

BREAKING: government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action under terrorism law ruled UNLAWFUL
This matters for everyone.
For years, the right to protest has been under sustained and deliberate attack.
Thousands of people have been arrested for something that should have never been a crime.

Wes Streeting is right… Israel is committing war crimes against Palestinians.
What is damning is that @wesstreeting-mp.bsky.social is part of a government that has continued business as usual with Israel despite its war crimes and genocide in Gaza.

It is vital the UK government continues to demand Jimmy Lai’s immediate and unconditional release - and defend Hong Kong people’s right to speak out freely.

Lai's sentence, and the sentencing of six other former Apple Daily (a Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong from 1995 until its bank accounts were frozen in 2021 by Hong Kong authorities) executives, is one more nail in the coffin of Hong Kong freedoms and must not be tolerated.

Jimmy Lai has already spent 5 years in prison. 20 years effectively means life, given his age and state of health.

🚨BREAKING: British citizen & Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai sentenced to 20 yrs in prison.
Lai was charged with “collusion with a foreign country or external elements” under the Beijing's National Security Law. In reality, his case is an attack on press freedom & freedom of expression.

Thank you Pep Guardiola for using your platform.
Governments killing, displacing and dehumanising millions across the world want to make us think it's normal.
But Guardiola is right.
We can't look away. And we cannot accept it.

Thank you to the many artists - including Olivia Dean, Billie Eilish and Bad Bunny - for using their acceptance speeches at the Grammys to reject the rise in anti-immigration narratives and policies peddled by those in the media and in power.

Two years ago today, Hind Rajab was killed by Israeli forces. She was five years old.
On 29th January 2024, Hind and her relatives were fired on by an Israeli tank when trying to flee to safety. Everyone in the vehicle was killed by the initial attack except Hind and her 15-year-old cousin, Layan.

The Holocaust showed us the consequences of ignoring such forces. We must speak out, organise, and defend the dignity and safety of all - before prejudice becomes policy.

On this day, we mark Holocaust Memorial Day and 81 years since Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated. Yet today, antisemitism, racism and other forms of bigotry are once again gaining political traction across the UK, Europe and the world.

They were just some of the six million Jewish people killed in the Holocaust which was orchestrated by the Nazis and their collaborators. Millions of other people from the LGBTQ+ community, disabled people, Roma people, trade unionists, political opponents and other groups were also killed.

"The Shoes on the Danube Promenade" is a memorial of 60 cast-iron shoes along the river’s bank in Budapest. It honours the thousands of Jewish people who, in the winter of 1944-1945, were shot on the banks of the Danube by members of the Arrow Cross Party – who collaborated with the Nazis.
