Tanzania's jailed opposition leader Tundu Lissu will start a hunger strike on Monday, alleging prison authorities deny him access to his lawyers ahead of his treason verdict. A fair trial requires counsel and time to prepare a defence. #HumanRights apnews.com/article/tundu-lissu-tanzania-hu...
A man held at the D Ray James immigration detention center in Folkston, Georgia, has died amid a hunger strike against prolonged detention and poor conditions. Strikers report threats of force-feeding. Detention must respect human dignity. #HumanRights www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/24/ge...

A BBC investigation documents at least 43 attacks on hospitals and health sites in el-Fasher by RSF fighters, with 55 medical workers killed. Under the Geneva Conventions, hospitals and medics are protected; deliberate attacks are war crimes. #HumanRights www.bbc.com/news/articles/c54g1kxw4nvvo

Burkina Faso's unelected assembly has restored the death penalty, abolished for ordinary crimes in 2018, for terrorism, treason and espionage. With fair-trial guarantees eroded under military rule, it risks becoming a tool against dissent. #HumanRights apnews.com/article/burkina-faso-death-pena...
UN experts urge India to stop excessive force against students and opposition protesting the removal of 130 million names from voter lists. Peaceful assembly is protected by the ICCPR and Article 19 of India's Constitution. Lift the bans. #HumanRights www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/21/un-exper...

Saudi Arabia executed a Bangladeshi man and woman for an "indecent act" in a mosque; Dhaka says it learned only afterwards. Such an act is far from the "most serious crimes" standard for the death penalty. Executions must end. #HumanRights www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmde83w13p00o
Human rights do not pause in times of crisis. Amid widespread protests and unrest, authorities remain bound to protect peaceful assembly, free expression and the physical integrity of all, using force only when necessary and proportionate. #HumanRights #RightToProtest
Over 250,000 people have fled fighting in Yemen since July, most from Taiz, where a Houthi encirclement cuts the road to Aden and shelling hits homes and clinics. Humanitarian law bans starving civilians and blocking relief. Open the roads. #HumanRights www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/20/more-tha...

عمران خان اگست 2023 سے پاکستان میں قید ہیں اور گرتی صحت اور اپنی جماعت کی اجتماعی گرفتاریوں کے دوران 100 سے زائد مقدمات کا سامنا کر رہے ہیں۔ IHRF اسے سیاسی محرکات پر مبنی عدالتی انتقام سمجھتی ہے اور بلا الزام فوری رہائی کا مطالبہ کرتی ہے۔ #انسانی_حقوق www.bbc.com/news/articles/cmkg79z04w4zo

IHRF is concerned by the prolonged detention in Spain of Fergie Chambers, sought by the US. The charges appear political, linked to his pro-Palestinian advocacy. We call on Spain to safeguard his civil rights and full due process. #HumanRights elpais.com/espana/2026-10-09/la-audiencia-...

Drone strikes across Sudan have killed more than 160 people in days, say medics and rights groups, including 80 at a transport hub in Al-Dibab and 41 displaced people in Blue Nile. Army and RSF are both blamed. Civilians are never a target. #HumanRights www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/19/160-repo...
Article 20 #UDHR: "Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association." You may protest, march, meet, and form or join unions, parties and groups, and no one may force you to belong to one. Banning or punishing peaceful protest violates it. #HumanRights
An Aboriginal prisoner was shackled to a Queensland hospital bed in labour, days after the Senate blocked a national ban. The Bangkok Rules say restraints must never be used in labour or birth. Canberra could set a national standard. #HumanRights www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/oc...
An airstrike on a family home in Saada, Yemen, killed at least nine people, five of them children, the Houthi-run Health Ministry says. Homes are civilian objects: humanitarian law binds every party to distinction and precaution. #HumanRights apnews.com/article/mideast-israel-palestin...
Article 19 #UDHR: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression." You may hold any view and seek, receive and share information and ideas through any media, across borders. Censorship, jailed journalists and internet shutdowns all violate it. #HumanRights
France's National Assembly unanimously passed a comprehensive bill on sexual and gender-based violence, modelled on Spain's 2004 law, with specialist judges, prosecutors and police units. Campaigners say prevention still falls short. #HumanRights www.rfi.fr/en/france/20261017-france-s-new...

Rome prosecutors are investigating Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz and 12 officials, including army chief Eyal Zamir, over alleged torture and at least 15 sexual assaults of Gaza flotilla activists. The ban on torture is absolute. #HumanRights www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/16/italy-pr...
Peaceful assembly, demonstration and protest are human rights, not privileges granted by governments. Police must facilitate them, use force only as a last resort and never in excess, and answer for abuses. Protesters are citizens, not enemies. #HumanRights #RightToProtest

Colombia's peace tribunal charged 10 ex-FARC members, three of them former leaders, with war crimes and crimes against humanity against five Indigenous peoples in 1996-2016. Truth and justice for Indigenous victims are key to lasting peace. #HumanRights apnews.com/article/colombia-war-crimes-far...
