More than 1,300 people have been executed in Iran in 2025 - the highest figure recorded in decades. Thousands more are at risk as Iranian authorities continue to weaponize the death penalty. We call on the international community to take urgent action to stop this horror.

“For a decade, China has kept Gui Minhai hidden from the world and, worse, those who love him — denying him regular access to his relatives, lawyers, and independent medical care." Gui Minhai must be released immediately and unconditionally. amnesty.org.au/china-hong-ko…

The Albanese Government's 2035 emissions target is not enough. We must see ambitious climate action to protect everyone's human rights from worsening climate change.

With the Government expected to announce Australia's emissions reduction target this week, we are calling on the Albanese Government to commit to zero emissions by 2035 to protect people’s human rights before it's too late. Every action counts. Share this post.
