After 2 years of illegal detention, we demand @PJdeHonduras immediate release of the Guapinol Defenders. Their detention for protecting water & land - at the request of @MP_Honduras & @LosPinaresHN - is arbitrary & unjust. They are innocent #FreedomForGuapinol #GuapinolInnocent

This week, we witnessed the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban and the tragic earthquake in Haiti. Today on #WorldHumanitarianDay we pay tribute to all front-line aid workers delivering urgent humanitarian assistance in some of the most dangerous places. trocaire.org/news/world-hum…
"The world is following events in Afghanistan with a heavy heart and deep disquiet about what lies ahead. All of us have seen the images in real time. Chaos. Unrest. Uncertainty. And fear. " UN Secretary-General António Guterres today un.org/press/en/2021/…
"People rightly fear that a seizure of power by the Taliban will erase the human rights gains of the past two decades" says UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. UN Security Council must take action to protect rights & prevent further atrocities, particularly against women in 🇦🇫
Haiti death toll rises to 1,297 as a tropical storm nears. Our partners @CaritasHaiti are on the ground. The needs of the population are immense. "There is an absolute demand for food, water, tents, hygiene kits and first aid" Father Jean-Herve Francois, Director of Caritas Haiti
African countries on the frontline of the climate crisis are experiencing increasingly unstable & unpredictable weather events. The IPCC report is a reminder of the urgent need for a global climate response strategy to protect the world’s most vulnerable trocaire.org/news/what-does…

We are calling for a fair trial and the end of impunity for Jhony Salgado. Jhony is a victim of a flawed judicial process that seeks to criminalise his involvement in the 2017 post-election protests. The evidence shows he was not present at the protest

The @IPCC_CH issues its starkest warning yet. Climate change is impacting every region of the world. We need world leaders to take urgent action now. The people in the poorest countries are experiencing the worst effects of climate change depend on it

Climate-induced droughts are wreaking havoc in Africa’s poorest nations where the impact of rising global temperatures is felt the most. For many, the current drought exacerbated by rising temperatures, is the worst on record.
