Bangladesh should stop coercing #Rohingya to take part in a repatriation process that would send them back to the Myanmar junta's apartheid Rakhine State, where their lives and freedoms would be at grave risk. trib.al/QGcc4B5
Guatemala: the seemingly arbitrary proceedings against presidential candidate Mulet appear to be part of a broader effort to undermine the fairness of the elections.
Thorough electoral observation is needed.

The tightening of World Athletics sex testing policy effectively coerces medically unnecessary interventions on healthy athletes as a condition for competing. It also expands a system of surveillance over all women athletes.

In March 2023, satellite images showed that the village of Fadiaka had been totally abandoned following the wave of violence.
Thatched-roof buildings had been destroyed and the surrounding forest had overtaken the main road, paths, and houses.
HRW visited Bandundu in November and found that people who fled the attacks were being housed in the Malebo market, which had been turned into a camp.
People were sleeping on the floor in warehouses and said they had received no assistance.
The attacks have forced several thousand people to flee their homes. But the government has not provided them with any assistance nor reinforced provincial security force numbers.
👉Villagers from different communities have damaged, destroyed, looted, and burned hundreds of houses, as well as schools and health centers.
👉Congolese security forces have allegedly committed extrajudicial executions, looting, and sexual violenceaM
In western Democratic Republic of Congo #DRC, a dispute over customary land rights has exacerbated communal violence and led to the deaths of at least 300 people since June 2022. 🧵

Some survivors & victims’ families may finally see justice for crimes committed in #Kosovo’s war 1998-9.
But a new trial also highlights the lack of justice hanging over all the wars in the former Yugoslavia.

Bangladesh should halt a pilot plan to return Rohingya to Myanmar. The prospect of durable returns is ever more distant since the February 2021 military coup, carried out by the same generals who orchestrated the 2017 mass atrocities.

Retweeted by Human Rights Watch Migrating should not mean death. We need safe pathways to immigrate and humane border reception. People have always migrated.
