I welcome and echo these calls by @chrdnet.bsky.social for the Chinese government to release all those serving long term prison sentences as a result of exercising their internationally recognised right to defend human rights.
🔴 This #InternationalHumanRightsDay, #CHRD calls on 🇨🇳 govt to end its use of long-term imprisonment against human rights defenders.
While #Beijing imposes decade-long sentences, we continue to recognize and celebrate their contributions.

As I said in the #UNGA80 report, time is running out. Climate change is a human rights crisis, and human rights defenders protecting the climate deserve to be heard. Urgently.

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

Six years have passed since HRD Idris Khattak was abducted in #Pakistan. He remains unjustly imprisoned after grave violations including enforced disappearance & torture. As his family persists in seeking justice, I again urge the authorities to release him.

I’m hearing disturbing news that on 16th September human rights defender Murat Dushemov was sentenced to 8 more years in prison in #Turkmenistan after a closed trial on dubious charges. His prolonged denial of family contact deepens concerns. He should be released and given a fair, open trial.

I’m hearing disturbing news that yesterday Rita Karasartova was convicted under articles 278 & 327 of #Kyrgyzstan's Criminal Code. While she was sentenced to probation and a fine rather than imprisonment, I’m seriously concerned by her criminalisation, allegedly for human rights work.
