International Human Rights Defenders Day is a reminder that progress on human rights doesn't happen by accident. Each step forward happens because HRDs persevere, year after year, choosing to be lighthouses instead of hurricanes. We owe them an eternity of gratitude. #HRDday

The @civicusalliance.bsky.social People power under attack 2025 shows a worrying reality of backlash in civic space around the world and a consistent closed civic space in #Togo. The #Right2DefendRights, protests and critical opinions particularly online are criminalized. #StandUp4HumanRights

📢 Protests are fundamental to democratic life. Yet across the world, peaceful gatherings are increasingly met with excessive force and dangerous weapons, which undermines freedom of expression, violates human rights and in some cases may amount to torture and other ill-treatment.

Very worried to hear that imprisoned HRD Abdoul Aziz Goma has been hospitalised in #Togo. He has been on hunger strike since 8 November, along with 36 others, to protest prison conditions & ongoing unjust detention. His weight has fallen to 50kg. I remain extremely concerned for his health.
