🚨 A family’s home turned into a massacre. A Türkiye-backed drone attack in Syria killed ten members of one family. Only one 9-year-old girl from family survived. No warning. No apparent justification. Read Human Rights Watch’s full investigation: hrw.org/news/2025/06/0… #Syria #HumanRights

The #M23 armed group has deported over 1,500 people from occupied eastern #DRCongo to #Rwanda. The forcible transfer of civilians is a war crime, and Rwanda’s control over the M23 makes it ultimately responsible for the group’s numerous abuses. Human Rights Watch hrw.org/news/2025/06/1…

Le groupe armé #M23 a déporté de force plus de 1500 civils de l’est occupé de la #RDC vers le #Rwanda. Le transfert forcé de civils est un crime de guerre. Le Rwanda est responsable des abus du M23 en raison de son contrôle sur ce groupe armé. HRW en français hrw.org/fr/news/2025/0…

My take on what the new reality for civilians in urban conflicts looks like in a world where it has become cheap and easy for warring parties to target civilians using short-range commercial drones to deliver and drop bombs on top of them and their homes thehill.com/opinion/535392…

🇭🇹One year since Multinational Security Support Mission to Haiti deployed to #Haiti, violence keeps rising as hundreds flee daily seeking refuge in makeshift sites or other cities. UN member states should reinforce the MSS & the UNSC turn it into a full-fledged UN mission to protect Haitians. hrw.org/news/2025/06/2…

🇭🇹Un an après l'arrivée de la Multinational Security Support Mission to Haiti en #Haïti, la violence s'intensifie. Des centaines fuient chaque jour vers des sites précaires ou d'autres villes. Le Conseil de sécurité devrait transformer la MMAS en mission de l'ONU pour protéger les Haïtiens. hrw.org/fr/news/2025/0…

En #Haïti, la violence des groupes criminels ne cesse de s'intensifier & centaines de milliers de personnes ont fui malgré le déploiement de la Mission multinationale d'appui à la sécurité il y a 1 an. La MMAS a besoin de + de ressources pour protéger efficacement la population.

🇭🇹“Environmental situation in Haiti improved?” 90% of the capital under criminal control 6M need humanitarian aid 5.7M face acute hunger 1.3M displaced Even the US urges its citizens to leave ASAP. This is not progress. It’s collapse. Ending TPS for Haitians is simply inhumane

🇭🇹Plus de 245 000 personnes ont été déplacées par les violences au cours des derniers mois en #Haïti. Une mère célibataire de 52 ans, enseignante à Port-au-Prince, m'a raconté comment elle a tout perdu lorsque des groupes criminels ont attaqué son quartier en avril :

🇭🇹 Les Haïtiens fuient les groupes criminels violents qui prennent le contrôle de leurs quartiers. Voici l'histoire d'une femme de 24 ans qui a quitté son emploi dans une agence de transfert d'argent à Port-au-Prince pour trouver la sécurité et la liberté.

In late July, Human Rights Watch will be publishing a report on the horrifying conditions of confinement in 3 immigration detention centers in Florida- Krome, BTC, and FDC. But now this #AlligatorAlcatraz

🇺🇦Ukraine just started a process to withdraw from the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention. Because it is in the midst of a war, this is effectively a symbolic move to gain political cover while disregarding the core prohibitions on producing & using antipersonnel mines- Human Rights Watch: hrw.org/news/2025/07/0…

US President Donald Trump toured the newly opened immigration detention complex nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz” this week. By opening the complex, the US government is expanding a system already rife with inhumane conditions, neglect, and dehumanizing treatment.

The IDF dropped a 500lb bomb into a cafe in Gaza on Monday. We saw & identified fragments. They had conducted "aerial surveillance" so knew it was crowded with civilians. They had other precise munitions available. Up to 40 died, more injured. My report: theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

🇭🇹Children and young people are among the hardest hit by the violence in Haiti. A 21-year-old orphan who lived with her uncle in Port-au-Prince told us how she lived under the control of criminal groups — until they killed her uncle and forced her to flee to Cap-Haïtien:

Since Jan 2025, ICE detention in Florida more than doubled. Detainees— many without violent offense convictions—report being shackled for hours, denied meds & forced to sleep on cold floors. This is a humanitarian crisis. #EndDetention #ICEAbuse 🔗 hrw.org/news/2025/07/2…
