Northern Justice Watch retweeted
The UN human rights office said in 2022 that the detention of Uyghurs in Xinjiang may amount to crimes against humanity.
Beijing calls it education. This is not a dispute over facts. It is a finding still waiting for action.

HRW says airstrikes have escalated in Tigray since August and boys as young as 15 are being recruited by force.
International scrutiny is almost absent. This is not a forgotten war. It is an unwatched one. The EU can start watching.

Two Uyghur men have been in Thai custody since 2014.
One was 14 when it began. HRW says they are now in an immigration centre while China demands their return.
Thailand sent 40 Uyghurs to China in 2025. We urge #Thailand not to deport them.

When land is taken, so is the right to stay.
UN expert Richard Bennett says Hazaras are being targeted through land appropriation and forced eviction.
This is not a property dispute. It is ethnic targeting.

Turkish police detained 11 people over alleged Gülen movement links. Five are accused of sending money to affected families.
Supporting a detainee's family should never be treated as a crime.
We urge Türkiye to stop these prosecutions.

Taliban authorities reportedly detained Hazara community representatives in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Nov. 9 amid eviction orders.
The Taliban's Justice Ministry should tell families and lawyers where those still held are being kept.

Heavy rain has flooded sites sheltering displaced Palestinian families in Gaza, the UN reports.
Tents have collapsed, and children are wading through contaminated water.
Donor governments should fund emergency shelter for families in flooded sites. nitter.cf/UN/status/211986787083…

Tents have collapsed, children are wading through contaminated water & families are losing what little they have.

Two Uyghur men have spent 12 years in Thai detention. China wants them returned. Today Thailand faces a UN rights review.

Our Executive Director, @serifcanada1 , has launched an initiative to extend TS2023 and keep families together. On November 11, he will begin walking from Ottawa to Toronto for families and children.
Guided by children’s best interests and family unity, reflected in Articles 3 and 9 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and sections 3(1)(d) and 25(1) of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, we hope Canada will remain a safe place for these families to call home.

11 Kasım’da Ottawa’daki Parlamento önünden Toronto’daki Ontario Eyalet Meclisi’ne uzanan yaklaşık 500 kilometrelik bir yürüyüşe başlayacağım.
Kanada’nın kasım soğuğunda, yaklaşık 30 gün sürecek zorlu bir yolculuk…
Türkiye ve Suriye’deki depremlerden kurtulup Kanada’da yeni bir hayat kuran, şimdi ise gelecekleri belirsizliğe sürüklenen aileler için yürüyeceğim.
Bu çocuklar burada büyüyor, okula gidiyor, hayaller kuruyor. Bir kez daha hayatlarının altüst olmasını hak etmiyorlar.
Ben adımlarımı atacağım. Siz de bu ailelerin yanında durun.
Basın açıklaması: 11 Kasım, saat 11.20 – Ottawa, Parlamento önü.

Are sanctions helping the people who need support?
Dr. Mark Kersten @MarkKersten urges us to ask for measurable benefits: access to medicine, food and humanitarian aid. His message is to judge pressure by the concrete improvements it can bring to people’s lives.
Available with Arabic subtitles.
We thank The Law Foundation of Ontario @LawFoundationOn for funding this project and supporting informed action toward justice.
What changed for the people affected? That is a question worth asking.
