Civil organisations in Mozambique say at least 120 children have been kidnapped by insurgents in the north of the country. The Human Rights Watch group warn of a rise in abductions in the country's troubled nothern province of Cabo Delgado. The children are reportedly being used by Al-Shabab, an insurgent group linked to the so-called Islamic State, to transport looted goods, cheap labour and in some cases as child soldiers. We'll hear from someone closely monitoring the kidnappings.Also, are there increased US bombings against targets in Somalia since Donald Trump became president?And we meet Cathy Dreyer, the first female ranger to head up the team at the Kruger National Park in South Africa!Presenter: Audrey Brown Producers: Alfonso Daniels and Nyasha Michelle Technical Producer: Jack Graysmark Senior Journalist: Karnie Sharp Editors: Alice Muthengi and Andre Lombard

What started as five casual radio presenter shifts has turned into one of the most closely watched court battles in Australian media. In 2023, Antoinette Lattouf was removed as a fill-in host of an ABC radio program after she shared a Human Rights Watch post on the Israel-Gaza conflict on her social media that stated Israel had used starvation as a ‘weapon of war'. Lattouf sued the national broadcaster for wrongful termination and – after a costly legal fight – a verdict has finally been delivered. Media correspondent Amanda Meade and senior reporter Kate Lyons tell Matilda Boseley what this verdict means for Lattouf, the ABC and the Australian media

En RD Congo, l'AFC/M23 - groupe armé soutenu par le Rwanda - est accusé d'avoir transféré de force plus de 1 500 personnes de l'est du pays vers le Rwanda. Le groupe armé affirme qu'il s'agissait de citoyens rwandais. Mais Human Rights Watch évoque des retours involontaires constituant une violation du droit international.

It's Wednesday, June 18th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Pakistani Muslims level false accusations against Christians Muslims in Pakistan are using the country's blasphemy laws to target religious minorities. Human Rights Watch released a report on the issue, entitled, “A Conspiracy to Grab the Land: Exploiting Pakistan's Blasphemy Laws for Blackmail and Profit.” For example, Christians experience false accusations of blasphemy against Islam. Locals then weaponize the accusations by inciting mob violence against Christians and seizing their property.  Sadly, the government does little to nothing about such attacks. Pakistan is ranked eighth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.  Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Trump warns Iranian civilians to evacuate Tehran U.S. President Donald Trump called for Iranian civilians to evacuate their capital city of Tehran this week as fighting between Israel and Iran escalates.  And yesterday, he wrote on Truth Social, “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader' is hiding.  ... We are not going to take him out. ... at least not for now. But we don't want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin.” A senior White House official told Fox News that U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities are on the table.  Supreme Court: Religious groups cannot be compelled to fund abortion On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed a lower court ruling that had previously forced religious groups to fund abortions. The state of New York required groups, including churches, to cover abortions in their health insurance plans for employees. Religious groups have been challenging the policy for years. Attorney Noel Francisco commented on the case. He said, “Religious groups in the Empire State should not be forced to provide insurance coverage that violates their deeply held religious beliefs. We are confident that New York will finally get the message and stop discriminating against religious objectors.” House voted to cut $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting The U.S. House of representatives narrowly passed a measure to cut $9 billion in funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting.  The House approved the legislation by a vote of 214-212 last Thursday.  House Speaker Mike Johnson commented, “It is just one of the ways Republicans are codifying DOGE's findings and putting taxpayer dollars to better use.” The bill faces an uncertain future in the U.S. Senate. Children's Hospital in Los Angeles closes its transgender center The Children's Hospital in Los Angeles recently announced it will close its so-called “Center for Transyouth Health and Development” next month.  The center performed sex mutilating surgeries and offered puberty-blocking drugs to children.  The announcement follows an executive order from President Trump that bans federal funding for transgender operations for minors. Alabama has most people with Biblical worldview; Rhode Island the least Dr. George Barna released a new report on the worldview of Americans ranked by state. The report notes that only 4% of U.S. adults hold to a Biblical worldview. However, that number varies by state. The states with the highest proportion of adults with a Biblical worldview are Alabama at 12.6%, Mississippi at 12.5%, South Carolina at 9.8%, and Arkansas at 9%. States with the least proportion of adults with a Biblical worldview are Rhode Island at 0.25%, Maine at 1.1%, Nebraska at 1.5% and Massachusetts at 1.8%.  Even though states like Alabama and Mississippi have a higher incidence of adults with a Biblical worldview, Dr. Barna noted, “In absolute terms, every state in the union is failing miserably at developing the biblical worldview among its residents.” Isaiah 55:7 says, “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” Worldview listeners in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Kentucky share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts — along with your full name, city and state — and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Barabara Resheske in Lake Nebagamon, Wisconsin wrote, “I read every word of The Worldview transcript because it confirms my belief that the world is in turmoil, but Christ is in control. I pray when you request prayers for the persecuted. I thank you for telling us what the mass media doesn't.  Indeed, I thank you for truth, honesty, and transparency.” Ruth Stapp in Edmond, Oklahoma wrote, “I love The Worldview and look forward to seeing it every day. Your information is exactly what I need. I do not enjoy watching the news on TV because of the bias and lies. Plus, your newscast gives me an opportunity to delve further into any of the stories that spark my interest through the links you provide.”  And Daniel Wojnicki in Louisville, Kentucky. wrote,  “I enjoy that The Worldview gives facts and news insights all in one short newscast. Because it's a Christian news source, there is no distortion of the truth.  Being informed about the truth is very rare these days, especially in an age ruled by corrupted news anchors.” 8 Worldview listeners gave $3,022 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our $92,625 goal by this Friday, June 20th  to fund three-quarters of The Worldview newscast's annual budget for our 6-member team, 8  listeners stepped up to the plate as of 4:00pm Central yesterday afternoon. Our thanks to Margaret in Raleigh, North Carolina who gave $25 and Jessica in Delmar, Maryland who gave $50. We're grateful to God for Mandy in Walpole, New Hampshire and Max in Macon, Georgia – both of whom gave $200 as well as Rose in Everson, Washington who gave $247. And we were touched by the generosity of Carlee in Keswick Ridge, New Brunswick, Canada who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Susan in San Antonio, Texas who gave $1,000, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who gave $1,000 to match Susan's gift. Those 8 Worldview listeners gave a total of $3,022. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $46,896.70 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   Toward this Friday, June 20th's goal of $92,625, we need to raise $45,728.30. Remember, if you are one of the final 2 people who will give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift of his own.  I am wondering if there are two businesspeople in our listening audience  – two -- who would consider a generous $10,000 matching gift if 5 other listeners gave a one-time gift of $2,000. If you are one of those 2 businesspeople, please email me at adam@TheWorldview.com and include your phone number so we can chat. I need to find 20 Worldview listeners who will pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And another 40 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. Go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right. Your gift will help us fund the 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year.

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte took office with a vow to eliminate illegal drugs. His “war on drugs” resulted in the brutal killing of between 12,000 and 30,000 people. Despite the international outcry and extensive media coverage of the deaths and their impact, Duterte remained popular—and untouchable – until recently. In March, he was arrested on an International Criminal Court warrant for crimes against humanity and is now sitting in a jail cell in The Hague. Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa, whose fearless reporting helped expose Duterte's brutal drug war, was targeted by Duterte – accused of everything from tax evasion to libel. In this episode of Rights & Wrongs, host Ngofeen Mputubwele speaks with Ressa and Human Rights Watch researchers about Duterte's bloody legacy, the importance of standing up to dictators, and what his arrest means for other leaders indicted by the ICC.

Panamá está envuelto en una gran tormenta. Trump busca recuperar el control del Canal y desplazar a China, varios migrantes deportados desde Estados Unidos vagan sin rumbo en el país, y existen masivas protestas desde hace casi dos meses. En este episodio de El Mundo en Crisis ponemos la lupa sobre ese país centroamericano clave, con entrevistas a Jorge Eduardo Ritter, ex canciller para el Canal, y Martina Rapido, de Human Rights Watch. Con la conducción de Lucía Cholakian Herrera y Marco Teruggi, y la edición de Alejandro Demasi.

Internal medicine and pediatric physician Charles LeBaron discusses his article "How the CDC's opioid rules created a crisis for chronic pain patients." Charles discusses the 2016 CDC opioid guideline, initially framed as a solution to over-prescription and overdose deaths, and critically examines its actual impact. He reveals how the guideline, despite being based on "low quality of evidence," led to widespread restrictions on opioid prescriptions by states, federal agencies, insurance companies, and pharmacies. Charles highlights the severe, unintended consequences for chronic pain patients, including increased pain, worsened quality of life, and a rise in suicides and overdoses among those whose opioid dosages were reduced or discontinued. He also touches on the devastating impact on cancer patients experiencing undertreated pain and discusses criticisms from pain specialists and the damning report by Human Rights Watch, which characterized the de facto denial of pain relief as a potential human rights violation.

C dans l'air du 9 juin 2025 - La Californie se rebelle...Trump envoie la Garde nationaleQue se passe-t-il à Los Angeles ? Depuis vendredi, des habitants manifestent dans la mégapole californienne contre la politique migratoire de l'administration Trump, à la suite d'opérations musclées menées par les agents fédéraux de l'immigration (ICE). L'envoi, samedi, de la Garde nationale sur ordre du président américain, contre l'avis du gouverneur démocrate de l'État, est loin d'avoir calmé les esprits. Pour le troisième jour consécutif, des heurts ont opposé les forces de sécurité à des manifestants qui protestent contre la politique d'expulsion massive et dénoncent l'envoi des premiers soldats par Washington — une manière, selon eux, d'instrumentaliser la situation.Donald Trump exploite-t-il les incidents à Los Angeles ? C'est en tout cas l'avis de la maire démocrate de la cité californienne, qui affirme contrôler la situation. "Ce que nous voyons à Los Angeles, c'est un chaos provoqué par l'administration. Le déploiement des troupes fédérales est une escalade dangereuse."En Californie, les fractures de l'Amérique éclatent au grand jour : d'un côté, les démocrates accusés de laxisme sur la politique migratoire ; de l'autre, les républicains de Donald Trump, déterminés à appliquer les mesures et à faire un exemple dans le fief de l'un de leurs principaux opposants, au risque de plonger un peu plus le pays dans une crise institutionnelle."C'est une atteinte grave à la souveraineté de l'État", a dénoncé le gouverneur démocrate de Californie, Gavin Newsom. "Nous n'avions pas de problème jusqu'à ce que Trump s'en mêle", a-t-il accusé sur X. Les gouverneurs des États démocrates ont fustigé un "abus de pouvoir alarmant", rappelant que la Garde nationale est traditionnellement mobilisée lors de catastrophes naturelles, et non pour réprimer des mouvements sociaux. Il s'agirait du premier déploiement unilatéral de la Garde nationale par un président sans l'accord d'un gouverneur depuis 1965, selon Kenneth Roth, ancien directeur de Human Rights Watch.Cette décision inédite du président Trump marque une nouvelle étape dans sa confrontation avec les États et les villes démocrates sur la question migratoire. À l'heure où il est en échec sur d'autres volets de sa politique (économie, inflation, guerres commerciales, diplomatie) et qu'il vient de rompre de façon fracassante avec Elon Musk, le républicain durcit encore sa politique anti-immigration, pour montrer à ses électeurs déboussolés qu'il tient ses promesses. Ainsi, l'interdiction d'entrée aux États-Unis pour les ressortissants de douze pays, édictée la semaine dernière, est entrée en vigueur ce lundi, selon un nouveau décret présidentiel. Sont concernés les ressortissants d'Afghanistan, de Birmanie, du Tchad, du Congo-Brazzaville, de Guinée équatoriale, d'Érythrée, d'Haïti, d'Iran, de Libye, de Somalie, du Soudan et du Yémen.La Maison-Blanche a également décidé, ces derniers jours, la suspension du traitement des visas pour les étudiants étrangers, le temps pour l'administration Trump de mettre en place une procédure permettant d'examiner le contenu de leurs réseaux sociaux. Parallèlement, des vagues d'arrestations et d'expulsions sont mises en scène afin de frapper les opinions publiques.Quelle est la situation en Californie ? Pourquoi l'envoi de la Garde nationale fait craindre une dérive autoritaire de Donald Trump ? Qu'est-ce que le "travel ban" ? Jusqu'où ira son bras de fer avec les universités ? LES EXPERTS :- Nicole BACHARAN - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des États-Unis, éditorialiste à Ouest France- Gallagher FENWICK - Grand reporter, spécialiste des questions internationales, ancien correspondant à Washington, auteur de Volodymyr Zelensky : l'Ukraine dans le sang, publié aux éditions du Rocher- Anne DEYSINE - Juriste et politologue, spécialiste des États-Unis- Corentin SELLIN - Professeur agrégé d'histoire, spécialiste des États-Unis, chroniqueur sur la politique américaine pour les Jours.fr- Piotr SMOLAR - Correspondant aux Etats-Unis pour le journal Le Monde

Israel is escalating its genocide in Gaza. Entire families are being wiped out, famine is spreading, and airstrikes are targeting shelters and schools. In the West Bank, killings and settler violence are surging as Israel tightens its grip on the territory. Yet despite these atrocities, international media coverage has diminished. While a handful of European governments have begun to question their complicity, meaningful action is still missing.  In this livestream, Palestinian writer and organiser Mohammed El-Kurd joins Yanis Varoufakis to cut through the noise: What's really happening on the ground? Why has the West been so slow, or unwilling, to act? And what can we, as citizens, do about it? Hosted by Mehran Khalili. 

Le président américain Donald Trump a décidé d'interdire aux ressortissants de 12 pays d'entrer aux États-Unis afin de « protéger » le pays de « terroristes étrangers », et imposé des restrictions contre 7 autres États. Décision annoncée, a-t-il précisé, après l'attaque du Colorado qui a visé les participants d'une marche de soutien aux otages israéliens à Gaza. Parmi la liste des pays dont les ressortissants seront interdits d'entrer sur le territoire à partir du 9 juin 2025, se trouve Haïti. Pour le moment, il y a de la confusion en Haïti, constate le rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste, Frantz Duval. On essaie de comprendre s'il y a des exceptions. Le gouvernement haïtien est resté silencieux. C'est le deuxième pays à interdire son territoire aux Haïtiens, avant les États-Unis, la République Dominicaine avait pris une mesure similaire. Le Venezuela met en garde ses citoyensLe Venezuela et Cuba se trouvent eux sur la liste des 7 pays qui sont soumis à des restrictions plutôt qu'à une interdiction totale. Le président américain juge que ces derniers ont des vérifications d'antécédents criminels déficients, explique TalCual. Le média vénézuélien tente d'expliquer à ses lecteurs qui sera impacté ou non. Toute personne titulaire d'un visa de tourisme, de travail, ou d'étudiant se trouvant hors des États-Unis verra son visa annulé.Il n'y a que quelques exceptions concernant, par exemple, les sportifs de haut niveau ou les diplomates.En réaction, Caracas a prévenu ses ressortissants que voyager aux États-Unis représentait «un grand risque».  Nouvelles mesures contre les universités américainesParallèlement, El Nacional vénézuélien choisi de rappeler aujourd'hui le cas particulier de l'Université américaine d'Harvard. Aucun étudiant étranger participant au programme d'échange avec Harvard ne sera autorisé à entrer sur le territoire. Ceux déjà présents sur le territoire feront l'objet d'un examen, et pourraient voir leur visa révoqué.L'administration Trump poursuit en effet son offensive contre les grandes universités américaines, qu'il qualifie de «foyer du libéralisme et du «wokisme»». En plus de restreindre l'accès d'Harvard aux étudiants étrangers, il a également retiré près de 3 milliards de dollars de subventions fédérales à la grande université. La prestigieuse université de New York, Columbia est également visée. La ministre américaine de l'Éducation l'a annoncé hier dans un communiqué. Selon Linda McMahon, «depuis le 7 octobre 2023, Columbia fait preuve d'indifférence face au harcèlement des étudiants juifs, l'université viole les lois fédérales contre la discrimination et pourrait perdre son accréditation». Une suppression qui entrainerait une perte de toutes les subventions fédérales de l'Université. Depuis plus d'un an, Columbia est l'épicentre des manifestations pro-palestiniennes aux États-Unis. En mars, Mahmoud Khalil, figure du mouvement et étudiant de l'Université new-yorkaise, a d'ailleurs été placé dans un centre de détention fédéral en Louisiane. Il risque l'expulsion.Si Columbia a annoncé qu'elle allait collaborer avec le gouvernement fédéral, la direction d'Harvard, elle, a choisi une autre stratégie. Elle dénonce une nouvelle mesure de rétorsion illégale. Et déclare qu'elle continuera à protéger ses étudiants internationaux. Lula à la recherche d'un accord de Libre-échange à ParisLe président brésilien Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva en visite d'État à Paris a exhorté ce jeudi son homologue français à « conclure » l'accord de libre-échange entre le Mercosur et l'Union européenne.L'accord de libre-échange entre l'UE et le Mercosur est la meilleure réponse dans un monde incertain marqué par le retour de l'unilatéralisme a estimé le chef d'État brésilien, une référence aux droits de douane et à la guerre commerciale déclenchée par Donald Trump ces derniers mois.Emmanuel Macron a écouté ce plaidoyer avec le sourire, rapporte notre envoyé spécial à l'Elysée Théo Conscience, mais est resté ferme sur ses positions : la France est en faveur d'un commerce libre, et équitable. Le président français a pointé du doigt des différences de normes sanitaires et environnementales entre les deux blocs, et plaidé pour l'introduction de clauses miroir ou de mesures de sauvegardes. Au Salvador, l'avocate des droits humains Ruth Lopez refuse de plier face aux autorités«On ne me fera pas taire», a crié la directrice de l'Unité anticorruption et juste de l'ONG Cristosal en se rendant à son audience à huis clos. C'est le seul moment où les médias ont pu enregistrer sa voix à la volée.Elle réclame d'ailleurs un procès public.Arrêtée il y a trois semaines, son affaire a été placée par la justice sous un statut de confidentialité. Elle a été officiellement accusée de détournement de fonds publics mais son avocat dénonce une volonté de la faire taire. Ruth Lopez est connue comme une grande voix critique des autorités au Salvador, explique CNN Latinoamérica qui propose un portrait de la militante. Elle s'est rapidement opposée au régime d'exception mis en place par Nayib Bukele officiellement pour lutter contre les gangs. «Il n'y a aucune justification constitutionnelle ni légale pour maintenir ce régime d'exception», plaidait-elle déjà en 2022.  «Nous ne défendons pas les gangs, nous défendons les personnes arrêtées injustement et dans des conditions arbitraires.»Ces derniers temps, Ruth Lopez s'était concentrée sur la défense des 252 migrants vénézuéliens emprisonnés au Salvador après leur expulsion des États-Unis. Les deux pays les accusent de faire partie de gangs et les ont soumis à des disparitions forcées, selon Human Rights Watch.L'arrestation a d'ailleurs mobilisé de nombreuses organisations de défense des droits humains nationale et internationale.Mercredi (4 juin 2025), sa détention a été prolongée pour 6 mois, rapporte El Mundo du Salvador. L'accusation est passée de détournement de fonds publics à enrichissement illicite. En sortant de l'audience, Ruth Lopez a crié qu'elle était une prisonnière politique et qu'aucune institution judiciaire n'était indépendante au Salvador.La Prensa Grafica résume l'analyse de plusieurs avocats pénaliste sur cette affaire. Ils dénoncent notamment l'illégalité du changement de qualification de l'accusation contre Ruth Lopez. L'enrichissement illicite demanderait moins de preuve que l'accusation de détournement de fonds publics.  L'avocat de la militante lui affirme que les autorités tentent simplement de faire taire une voix qui les effraie. 

The aid crisis in Gaza is deepening. This morning, Israeli soldiers opened fire near crowds of Palestinians approaching a new food distribution site in southern Gaza, the Israeli military confirmed. At least 27 people were killed and dozens more wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. This comes just days after a similar incident left 31 dead and nearly 200 injured, an event for which Israel has denied responsibility.As famine looms and disease spreads through the devastated territory, civilians are caught in an increasingly desperate struggle for survival. Aid is scarce, humanitarian convoys are often attacked or held indefinitely at the Gaza border, and the infrastructure needed to deliver essential supplies has collapsed.In this episode of The Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy is in Jerusalem, speaking to Milena Ansari, a Palestinian lawyer and researcher with Human Rights Watch, and Zvika Klein, editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post. They discuss how the crisis is unfolding, why so little aid is getting through, and who is being held accountable.

Migrantska kriza ponovo puni medijske stupce u Bosni i Hercegovini i regiji, ali ne zbog novog vala migranata, već zbog planova EU i Velike Britanije o izgradnji migrantskih centara na Balkanu. BiH se spominje kao jedna od potencijalnih lokacija, što je izazvalo brojne reakcije i upozorenja. Da li će Balkan postati skladište za migrante? O mogućim posljedicama Maja Marić razgovara s kolegom Amirom Sužnjem i prof. Sandijem Dizdarevićem, stručnjakom za sigurnost. Von Maja Maric.

El Parlamento de El Salvador, dominado por el partido del presidente Nayib Bukele, aprobó la Ley de Agentes Extranjeros, que establece un impuesto del 30 % a las donaciones de ONG. Después de una protesta social en frente de su casa, Bukele anunció que presentaría ese proyecto. El Gobierno afirma que busca garantizar transparencia, pero organismos internacionales y críticos denuncian una "escalada autoritaria". La aprobación de una ley de agentes extranjeros en El Salvador ha disparado la preocupación de organismos no gubernamentales y de Derechos Humanos.Según lo defendido por el oficialismo, la ley pretende limitar la influencia extranjera y la corrupción.Pero, organismos como Human Rights Watch (HRW) advierten que con esa normativa, que grava con un impuesto del 30 % a las donaciones de organizaciones no gubernamentales, El Salvador "da un paso más en la dirección de Nicaragua".La directora de la División de las Américas de la organización, Juanita Goebertus, agregó que la ley "está dirigida a impedir el trabajo de la sociedad civil y medios independientes" y alertó que "la deriva autoritaria avanza a pasos agigantados".El 21 de mayo, otras 70 organizaciones humanitarias de El Salvador y del extranjero rechazaron la ley al considerar que "habilita la criminalización arbitraria" y es parte de una "escalada autoritaria".Leer tambiénEl Salvador aprueba una polémica ley de agentes extranjeros que impone un impuesto del 30% a las ONG¿Cuáles son los alcances de la Ley de Agentes Extranjeros en El Salvador?

La ONG HRW denuncia que Estados Unidos expulsó 'injustamente' a 200 personas de diversos países, incluidos menores de edad, tras retenerlos 'en condiciones de detención abusivas' antes de trasladarlos al Centro de Atención Temporal para Migrantes (CATEM) en el sur de Costa Rica. La ONG estima que 'la complicidad' de Costa Rica con las expulsiones abusivas de EE.UU. daña su buena reputación como país de acogida para personas refugiadas'. Entrevistas: Mariana Rivera. Presentación: Ana María Ospina.  En febrero pasado, aterrizaron en Costa Rica dos vuelos provenientes de los Estados Unidos con 200 personas migrantes expulsadas por el gobierno de Donald Trump. Human Rights Watch denuncia en un informe "violaciones claras de los derechos humanos por parte de Estados Unidos" y "una negligencia alta" por parte de Costa Rica al aceptar a estas personas sin las condiciones que garanticen sus derechos y necesidades.La mayoría de las personas deportadas son originarias de países en conflicto como Afganistán, la República Democrática del Congo, Irán, Rusia o Turquía, y solicitantes de asilo, aseguró el asesor jurídico principal de la División de Derechos del Niño de la organización, Michael García Bochenek, y principal autor del reporte.El informe documenta las expulsiones de Estados Unidos y denuncia condiciones de detención abusivas, negación de derechos al debido proceso y a solicitar asilo. También detalla que las autoridades de Costa Rica detuvieron durante dos meses a las personas expulsadas y retuvieron sus pasaportes, sin base legal. Además, les transmitieron mensajes contradictorios sobre su condición."Lo que hemos visto desde el principio ha sido una mezcla de mensajes por parte de Costa Rica. Primero, las autoridades de ese país hablaron solamente de regresarlos a sus países de origen. Pero esto nunca fue una posibilidad para la mayoría de estas personas. Estamos hablando de gente que ha sufrido persecución y que está huyendo de la guerra", señaló García Bochenek.A tres meses de su ingreso al país centroamericano, 97 de los migrantes expulsados de Estados Unidos aceptaron volver a sus países presionados por la situación, otros dejaron el Centro de Atención Temporal para Migrantes (CATEM), luego de que les devolvieran sus pasaportes.Aproximadamente 50 personas, entre ellas menores de edad, aún se encuentran en un limbo legal, y con la incertidumbre de saber si obtendrán un permiso humanitario especial de 90 días para solicitar asilo en Costa Rica o si deben regresar a su país."A fines de marzo estaban hablando de la posibilidad de ir a un tercer país, pero sin suministrar más detalles. Luego, hablaron de la posibilidad de solicitar asilo en Costa Rica. En este punto es en el que estamos ahora. Pero la gente no tiene el apoyo concreto que necesitan para convertir esto en una realidad", afirmó el asesor legal.Costa Rica, reputación en juegoMientras las autoridades costarricenses han defendido el papel del país como un "puente humanitario", para HRW, en cambio, "la complicidad de Costa Rica con las expulsiones abusivas de Estados Unidos daña su buena reputación como país de acogida para personas refugiadas"."En el sentido de que aceptaron a 200 personas sin plan para su futuro, sin una preparación adecuada para recibir a estas personas durante el tiempo que realmente iban a estar en Costa Rica. Ya van tres meses. Esto incluye falta de educación para los niños y falta de apoyo adecuado para los que no han aceptado regresar a sus países de origen", alegó Michael García Bochenek.Costa Rica aún está a tiempo de recuperar sus compromisos asumidos por décadas, dice Human Rights Watch: "El gobierno costarricense también debería—como remedio parcial por el daño que causó con dos meses de detención arbitraria y en reconocimiento de su responsabilidad por haber aceptado que se enviará a personas a Costa Rica contra su voluntad—proporcionar de inmediato autorización de trabajo, ayuda para la vivienda y, según sea necesario, formación laboral, clases de idioma y ayuda para encontrar trabajo a aquellos que deseen solicitar asilo en Costa Rica".Informe:https://www.hrw.org/es/report/2025/05/22/la-estrategia-es-doblegarnos/expulsion-de-ciudadanos-de-terceros-paises-desde

Roger and his partner Daniela arrived in the U.S. in January, conditionally approved as refugees by a US State Department-run program called the Safe Mobility Initiative. Hours later, she was deported. He was detained and then, he vanished. In this episode of Rights & Wrongs, host Ngofeen Mputubwele looks at what happened to Roger—and also examines the fate of 137 Venezuelans swept up under the Alien Enemies Act, a rarely used 18th-century law has only ever been used in times of war. What began with border agents at the Houston airport questioning Roger about his tattoos turned into ICE detention and a secret transfer to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Roger, who has no criminal record, hasn't been heard from since. Human Rights Watch's Akshaya Kumar explains how an obscure law once used to detain Germans during both World Wars is now being deployed in peacetime for mass deportations. And Roger's uncle, desperate for answers, shares how he watched helplessly as his nephew disappeared into a system where due process has collapsed—and fear has taken its place.

They're chained to trees. Locked in sheds. Confined and forgotten — because they have a mental health condition. Across the globe, people with mental health conditions are shackled — hidden away, dehumanized, and neglected in overcrowded, filthy rooms, sheds, cages, even animal shelters. This week, host Ngofeen Mputubwele talks to Human Rights Watch researchers who are fighting to end this cruel practice — and to survivors who show that with the right support, healing and dignity are possible.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on an appeal to the US by Human Rights Watch about Venezuela.

Today the leaders of Israel, Russia, and Hamas all stand accused of war crimes. Yet it seems doubtful that these men will ever face justice – so what's the point of international law? For 30 years, Kenneth Roth was the director of Human Rights Watch. In that time, his organisation exposed hundreds of human rights […]

Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch, has spent over three decades at the forefront of the global human rights movement, challenging abusive governments and fighting for justice. In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with Kenneth to discuss his extraordinary career, from his early years learning his father's refugee story, to his pivotal role in shaping international human rights advocacy.Kenneth reflects on the strategies he employed to push oppressive regimes into compliance, from leveraging international pressure to navigating the complex geopolitics of the world's most powerful autocrats. He offers a candid look at the personal and professional challenges he faced while battling dictators like Putin, Xi Jinping, and Assad, and the lessons he's learned along the way.Insightful and unflinching, Kenneth shares stories of victories and setbacks, the evolution of the human rights movement, and how he remains motivated by the belief that positive change, however incremental, is always possible. This episode explores the sacrifices, triumphs, and complexities of a career dedicated to exposing injustice and holding the powerful accountable.

Timestamp to skip the intro and get straight to the case: (10:11) According to Human Rights Watch, it's estimated that about 90 per cent of crimes in Mexico are never reported, while a third of reported crimes are never investigated. About 2,600 foreigners have gone missing in Mexico in the past 15 years. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two separate cases of foreigners who have gone missing in Mexico. Canadian man Malcom Madsen was a snowbird who enjoyed traveling to Mexico every year.  Malcolm purchased a home near Puerto Vallarta for his girlfriend Marcela Acosta.  In 2018, the couple were seen on CCTV enjoying a night out at a local bar.   Marcela could be seen putting a substance into Malcom's drink.  Minutes later, they left the bar and Malcom was unsteady on his feet.   He has not been seen since.  Marcela and two accomplices have been sentenced to over 50 years in prison in relation to Malcom's disappearance. Australian woman Tahnee Shanks had been living in Mexico for years in 2022.   She and her husband Jorge had been having marriage problems, and she planned to return to Australia with their daughter Adelynn.  The family decided to take one last vacation together.  In May 2022, Adelynn was found wandering alone and barefoot outside a church in Cancun.   Now, almost three years later, both Tahnee and Jorge remain missing.  Is Jorge on the run after killing Tahnee or could they both have been murdered by the Mexican cartel?

From "Bloody Sunday" to Modern Activism: Civil Rights Leaders Reflect on LegacyThis show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate   Thank you for your continued support!Description: 60 years ago in Selma, Alabama, state troopers beat peaceful protesters bloody on the Edmund Pettus Bridge as they marched for civil rights. The horror of “Bloody Sunday” and the resilience of the Civil Rights Movement ultimately led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and many of the landmark achievements that are now directly under attack. As civil rights activists look to history to understand — and prepare for — the present, Laura walks the Bridge and talks with, among others, Sheyann Webb Christburg, who marched at the age of eight, Black Voters Matter co-founders LaTosha Brown and Clifford Albright; law professor and author Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw and Maya Wiley, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. What does people power look like today? Plus, a commentary from Laura on name calling then and now.“We're not going to phone bank our way out of this. We're not going to text our way out of this. And in truth, we're not even going to vote our way out of this . . . It's going to take revisiting some of the same strategies that we saw here in Selma, in terms of nonviolent civil disobedience and direct action.” - Clifford Albright“When we see and hear and think about fascism, we think about anti-democratic movements in Europe. We think about the Holocaust . . . But for Black people, as Langston Hughes said, you don't have to explain to us what fascism is. We experienced it. That is what we were fighting, for the 60, 70 years after Reconstruction was overthrown.” - Kimberlé CrenshawGuests:• Clifford Albright: Co-Founder & Executive Director, Black Voters Matter• Willard and Kiba Armstead: Veteran & Spouse• Trayvon Bossa: Sigma Chapter Member, Miles College Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity• LaTosha Brown: Co-Founder, Black Voters Matter• Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw: Co-Founder & Executive Director, African American Policy Forum; Host of the Intersectionality Matters!

The lawyer Philippe Sands weaves together a story of historical crimes, impunity and the law in his latest book, 38 Londres Street. He uncovers the links between a Nazi hiding in plain sight in Patagonia and the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, and the failed attempts to bring either to justice. Kenneth Roth has led Human Rights Watch for the last three decades, overseeing investigations into violence and oppression in countries all over the world. In Righting Wrongs he tells the stories of the wins and the losses, and the ongoing fight to uncover, and prosecute, abuses.The BBC's former Syria correspondent Lina Sinjab was forced into exile more than a decade ago after threats from President Bashar al-Assad's government. She could only watch as death and destruction ripped through her country, and those in power appeared to act with impunity. She looks at how Syria is faring since the fall of al-Assad's brutal regime.Producer: Katy Hickman

« Au Cameroun, à six mois de la présidentielle, le régime se durcit contre les défenseurs des droits de l'homme », déplore Maximilienne Ngo Mbé, la directrice exécutive du REDHAC, le Réseau des Défenseurs des Droits Humains en Afrique Centrale. Aujourd'hui, le REDHAC lui-même est dans le viseur du pouvoir, qui l'a suspendu en décembre dernier et qui poursuit à présent ses dirigeantes devant la justice. « Ce sont des décisions scandaleuses », affirme Human Rights Watch. Quelles sont les situations les plus préoccupantes ? RFI : Le 3 avril dernier, le Parlement européen a voté une résolution demandant aux autorités camerounaises de libérer cinq journalistes. Il s'agit des collègues anglophones Tsi Conrad, Mancho Bibixy, Kingsley Fomunyuy Njoka et Thomas Awa Junior, qui ont rendu compte du conflit armé dans les régions anglophones. Il s'agit également d'Amadou Vamoulké, l'ancien directeur général de la radiotélévision publique camerounaise, la CRTV. Votre réaction ?Maximilienne Ngo Mbé : C'est une petite joie pour nous, parce que les cinq journalistes que vous avez cités, le Redhac a été à leurs côtés. Nous avons mené des actions de plaidoyer depuis plus de cinq à sept ans. C'est donc avec beaucoup de joie que nous recevons cette décision. Nous osons croire qu'elle ne restera pas uniquement sur le papier et que l'Union européenne mettra tout en œuvre pour que leur libération soit effective.Quelles sont les autres personnalités actuellement emprisonnées au Cameroun pour leurs opinions politiques ou simplement pour leurs désaccords avec le pouvoir en place ?Nos pensées vont vers le professeur Alain Fogué, militant du Mouvement pour la Renaissance du Cameroun (MRC). Lui a été arrêté alors qu'il allait simplement rendre visite à son président, le professeur Maurice Kamto. Il y a aussi le porte-parole de M. Maurice Kamto, Bibou Nissack, qui a été arrêté chez lui, devant ses enfants et sa femme. Il n'était pas dehors pour manifester, cela ressemble à du kidnapping. Il y a aussi leurs camarades, ils sont 32 aujourd'hui, à rester en prison simplement parce qu'ils ont donné leurs opinions. Il y a aussi le cas de Marafa Hamidou Yaya, dont l'état de santé est très fragile.Marafa Hamidou Yaya a été secrétaire général de la présidence, il est tombé en disgrâce et en prison depuis 2012. Il souffre d'une grave maladie des yeux. Il y a un an, François Hollande a écrit à Paul Biya pour demander de le libérer pour raisons de santé, mais le président camerounais ne bouge pas. Pourquoi cette dureté contre ce prisonnier ?Je ne sais pas si c'est le président qui ne bouge pas ou si c'est la bureaucratie du président qui ne bouge pas. J'ai toujours eu à dire que depuis que je milite — cela fait quand même deux ou trois décennies – lorsque le président Paul Biya a été au courant d'une situation grave il a été prompt à réagir. Depuis un moment, on sait bien qu'il est un peu affaibli par l'âge. Est-ce que son entourage lui fait part de tout ? Je ne peux ni l'affirmer ni l'infirmer. En tout cas, M. Marafa, même pour raisons de santé, humainement, on peut dire qu'il a payé. […] Il devrait au moins pouvoir se faire soigner.Dans six mois, c'est l'élection présidentielle, prévue en octobre. Le parti au pouvoir, le RDPC, demande à Paul Biya, aujourd'hui âgé de 92 ans, de se présenter pour un nouveau mandat de sept ans. Est-ce que cette période est favorable à plus de clémence ou, au contraire, à plus de dureté ?J'avoue que, depuis un moment, on assiste à beaucoup de dureté de la part du gouvernement et du parti au pouvoir. Il ne lésine sur aucun moyen. Maintenant, c'est la même chose pour la justice, la police, l'armée. Vous êtes filé tout le temps, et vous êtes convoqué devant des juridictions. Le ministère de l'Administration territoriale promet la prison à tout le monde. Il empêche même un député de se mouvoir pour présenter son programme politique. Ce même ministère adopte une posture de durcissement de l'espace civique, au détriment de tout ce qu'on entend derrière sur le fait qu'il nous faut des élections pacifiques. Il y a un décalage entre le langage et les faits sur le terrain.Et ce durcissement, vous craignez qu'il s'intensifie à mesure qu'on va se rapprocher de la date du mois d'octobre prochain ?Bien sûr, il n'y a aucun doute là-dessus, si rien n'est fait.Pourquoi ?Parce que le président Paul Biya n'a toujours pas annoncé s'il sera candidat, jusqu'à aujourd'hui, personne ne le sait. Mais on pense que ceux qui sont restés longtemps à ses côtés au pouvoir veulent absolument qu'il continue, car cela leur permet de ne pas rendre de comptes. Ceux qui sont au pouvoir ont bénéficié de tous les privilèges et ont spolié les populations, ils sont à la manœuvre pour ne pas laisser le président, peut-être, aller se reposer et ils vont durcir de plus en plus l'espace. On attire l'attention des pays amis du Cameroun pour que cela ne se fasse pas. Il est donc grand temps que la France joue son rôle, aujourd'hui plus que jamais, pour que cela cesse.

“It has made nearly every person, every mother, to have their child contaminated, because the lead levels are so rampant,” says Cornelius Katiti, a father from Kabwe, Zambia, whose three children are affected by lead poisoning. For decades, the town has struggled with remediating 6.4 million tonnes of toxic lead waste left behind by a former mine. A Human Rights Watch report shows 95% of children in Kabwe have dangerously high lead levels. Cornelius, along with many others in the community, is left asking: who is responsible for the clean-up? In today's episode, Alan Kasujja explores the ongoing environmental and health impacts of mining with Cornelius, an environmental chemist , and an environmental consultant.

For nearly half a century, Human Rights Watch has shone a light on abuses, trying to hold perpetrators accountable. And for nearly three decades, Kenneth Roth was its executive director. He joins Piya Chattopadhyay to reflect on the victories, setbacks and realities of defending human rights today, as explored in his memoir Righting Wrongs.

For human rights organizations dealing with oppressive governments, sometimes humiliating them on the world stage actually gets things done. Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss his organization's tactic of “naming and shaming” countries that violate human rights and why Americans are sometimes blind to the lessening of freedoms and dignity around the world. His book is “Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

In this episode of International Horizons, Kenneth Roth, former longtime executive director of Human Rights Watch, joins RBI director John Torpey to discuss Roth's recent book, Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abuse of Governments (Knopf, 2025), which reflects on strategies for defending civil, political, economic, and social rights in an increasingly complex international landscape. Roth explores the implications of Trump's dismantling of USAID, the evolving challenges posed by authoritarian regimes like China, and the critical role social media plays in both exposing and enabling human rights abuses globally. Tune in to hear how Roth maintains optimism about the human rights movement and its continued fight against human rights abuses. Learn more about your ad choices.

Shipbreaking Updated: The Most Dangerous Job in the World In mid 2024, students in Bangladesh organized mass protests and brought down the repressive government of Sheikh Hasana. The country is now under a caretaker government of Muhammed Yunus, a Nobel Laureate who is attempting reforms. Months before this Monsoon Revolution, we told you about shipbreaking, the waste management of industrial ships sent to Bangladesh that has been dubbed “the most dangerous job in the world.” Guest Rizwana Hasan was then the country's only environmental lawyer and fierce advocate against the shipbreaking industry. Today, she is the new government's Adviser for Environment, Forest and Climate Change. What has changed for shipbreakers under this new government. This week, host Ngofeen Mputubwele revisits last year's episode and catches up with Human Rights Watch researcher Julia Bleckner to understand this new moment in Bangladesh, and how it will impact shipbreaking. Julia Bleckner: Senior Researcher for the Asia Division and Global Health Initiative at Human Rights Watch Rizwana Hasan: Adviser for Environment, Forest and Climate Change of Bangladesh

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said "Conditions for Palestinians in Gaza are appalling and apocalyptic. What we are seeing may well amount to the gravest international crimes." Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, said, "We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly." Prominent Israeli scholars such as Omer Bartov, Raz Segal, Ilan Pappe, Lee Mordechai and Amos Goldberg, have all said Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Jewish Voice for Peace, and other organizations have also reached the same conclusion. Apart from the U.S., Canada, and a few European countries Israel is largely isolated internationally. Arrest warrants for Prime Minister Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant have been issued by the International Criminal Court. Israel's goal in Gaza has been made explicitly clear by Netanyahu on down: eliminate the Palestinians. Recorded at the University of Wisconsin.

Russia and China are no fans of his. Egypt wouldn't even let him in the country. As the executive director of Human Rights Watch, Kenneth Roth spent 30 years investigating and standing up to the world's most ruthless oppressors. During that time, he exposed war crimes, confronted authoritarian regimes and, on more than one occasion, found himself in the crosshairs. Reset checks in with Roth about his new book Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments, and how he found shame to be a useful tool in holding governments accountable.
