Yousef Munayyer and Omar Shakir discuss his decision to depart from Human Rights Watch, the contents of the report that the organization sought to withhold, and the broader challenges of conducting human rights documentation on #Palestine within a climate of repression and restricted expression.

« On ne peut plus rien dire », vraiment ? Dans ce 3ᵉ épisode de Parlons Europe, on démonte ce refrain pour interroger la liberté de la presse et la liberté d'expression en Europe. Entre héritage des Lumières, cadre juridique européen, pressions politiques et économiques, censures invisibles et nouvelles menaces, ces libertés fondamentales, loin d'être absolues, sont pourtant toujours essentielles. Un épisode pour comprendre pourquoi défendre la liberté de la presse, ce n'est pas tout dire sans limites, mais garantir une démocratie vivante, pluraliste et responsable.

Duas semanas depois de a Human Rights Watch ter denunciado, no seu relatório anual, a persistência de atropelos aos direitos humanos em Moçambique, ONGs moçambicanas insistem junto da justiça para travar os abusos. O ex-ministro do Interior e o ex-comandante da polícia foram ouvidos pela Procuradoria-Geral da República no âmbito da queixa apresentada pela Plataforma Decide, há mais de um ano, relativa às mortes nos protestos pós-eleitorais. Por outro lado, a 17 de Fevereiro, a ONG Kóxukhuro apresentou, na Procuradoria Provincial de Nampula, duas queixas‑crime contra a polícia. Em Moçambique, o ex-ministro do Interior Pascoal Ronda e o ex-comandante da polícia Bernardino Rafael foram ouvidos, a 17 de Fevereiro, na Procuradoria-Geral da República sobre uma queixa da sociedade civil relativa às mortes, torturas e desaparecimentos nas manifestações que se seguiram às eleições gerais de Outubro de 2024. A acção tinha sido submetida por organizações da sociedade civil, nomeadamente pela Plataforma Decide, que monitoriza os processos eleitorais e que contabilizou 416 mortos nos protestos. O director da Plataforma, Wilker Dias, também foi ouvido na PGR como um dos autores da participação, e recordou à RFI o teor da queixa, lamentando que ainda continuem atropelos aos direitos humanos mais de um ano depois dos megaprotestos que agitaram o país. “Esta queixa faz menção às mortes que decorreram das manifestações, acusando directamente o ex-comandante da polícia Bernardino Rafael, mas também o ex-ministro Pascoal Ronda não só pelas mortes, mas também pelos feridos, principalmente, com recurso a armas de fogo, a balas reais que acabaram colocando algumas pessoas até com a impossibilidade de se locomover. Também entra a questão dos desaparecimentos forçados que decorreram em todo o país, em todas as províncias. Apercebeu-se que foi uma acção coordenada e sem nenhum tipo de repúdio por parte das autoridades policiais e até ministeriais, o que levou a crer que foi tudo premeditado e, por isso, é que se abriu este processo contra esses dois indivíduos”, resumiu Wilker Dias à RFI. O director da Plataforma Decide lembrou que o caso foi submetido pela ONG a 21 de Novembro de 2024 e que segue os trâmites legais. Mais de um ano e meio depois, Wilker Dias alerta que “os atropelos aos direitos humanos continuam”, ainda que não na dimensão verificada nos protestos pós-eleitorais. “Ainda continua infelizmente. Não naquela dimensão porque não estamos numa fase de manifestações, mas se formos olhar numa outra perspectiva, existem atropelos, principalmente na zona Centro e Norte, com mais incidência para a província da Zambézia e depois um pouco lá mais para cima. Os casos mais gritantes que nós temos estado a receber são os casos de Nampula. Nampula tem sido um dos grandes palcos em que a polícia tem cometido diversos desmandos relativamente às questões de direitos humanos, às detenções arbitrárias, à questão da tortura que também é uma realidade, mortes também de forma indiscriminada. Publicámos até, no princípio do ano, um relatório sobre o que é que terá acontecido em Mogovolas, em que até houve a denúncia de populares sobre a existência de uma provável vala comum por tudo aquilo que aconteceu lá. Nós pedimos à Procuradoria Geral da República que se monte uma comissão de inquérito, uma investigação, para que se possa apurar estes factos todos e responsabilizar os polícias que estarão por detrás disso. Também uma das coisas é a pressão e perseguições aos membros da oposição em Moçambique, que continua de forma triste, com maior incidência para o partido Anamola, aos seus membros, aos seus representantes distritais e provinciais ameaçados e, por vezes, também detidos. Isto também vai, de certa forma, colocando em causa todo este processo de diálogo nacional”, acrescentou Wilker Dias. Por sua vez, a ONG Kóxukhuro apresentou, também a 17 de Fevereiro, na Procuradoria Provincial de Nampula, duas queixas‑crime contra a Polícia da República de Moçambique, as quais colocam em causa o comandante da Segunda Esquadra. O activista social e dos direitos humanos Gamito dos Santos, director da associação, descreveu-nos essas queixas e denunciou uma “prática recorrente” de violação dos direitos humanos por parte da polícia, mas alerta que “a sede de fazer justiça fala mais alto que o medo”. “A primeira queixa tem que ver com a detenção e tortura de quatro jovens naturais de Nampula. Alegadamente, um dos jovens teria comprado um telefone roubado, mas ninguém, em nenhum momento, apresentou queixa sobre o telefone. Então, arrombaram a casa dos jovens e de lá começaram a torturar os miúdos até os levarem à Segunda Esquadra. De lá continuaram com a tortura, até que para serem soltos, estes jovens teriam pago valores. A pessoa acusada de comprar o telefone pagou um valor de 80.000 meticais para ser solta. A segunda pessoa pagou 15.000 meticais, a terceira pagou 14.500 e a quarta pagou 7.000 meticais. Este processo começa a ter suspeitas pelo simples facto de que eles não foram apresentados ao procurador, muito menos ao juiz de instrução. Foram capturados pela polícia, torturados pela polícia, a polícia cobrou os valores ilicitamente e a mesma polícia os soltou depois de três dias”, explicou Gamito dos Santos. “A segunda queixa tem que ver com um jovem capturado em casa e levado à Segunda Esquadra por volta das cinco horas de madrugada, mas depois, às 22 horas do dia em que foi capturado, foi tirado das celas para uma parte incerta, de onde teria sido exigido que ele assumisse os crimes de que ele era acusado:um furto. Aliás, estava sendo já torturado psicologicamente para que ele assumisse este furto. Ele não tendo assumido, a polícia levou-o naquela mata e tê-lo-ão baleado no membro inferior direito. Daí levaram o jovem para o Hospital Central de Nampula, onde teria recebido tratamento. Neste momento, está na Primeira Esquadra, já foi legalizada a sua prisão e está a seguir os seus trâmites legais. Então, tendo em conta que a confissão por tortura é crime na República de Moçambique, nós achámos por bem - pelo bem da dignidade humana e o bem dos princípios basilares da da pessoa humana -  processarmos o comandante da Segunda Esquadra”, acrescentou o activista. De acordo com a Deutsche Welle, a polícia negou as acusações, através da porta-voz em Nampula, Rosa Chaúque, que reafirmou que a corporação cumpre à risca as leis moçambicanas. [A RFI tentou obter uma reacção da polícia de Nampula, sem sucesso.] No início de Fevereiro, o relatório da Human Rights Watch sobre a situação dos direitos humanos a nível mundial, em 2025, apontava que, em Moçambique, os direitos humanos foram afectados pela insegurança alimentar, intensificação de ataques terroristas e sequestro de menores em Cabo Delgado, pelos feminicídios, repressão dos protestos pós-eleitorais, sequestros e tentativas de assassínio a jornalistas e activistas sociais.

Send a textOn Inside Geneva this week, we unpick the divisive topic of migration and asylum. Why are some countries closing their doors?“In Europe we are seeing one country after another erect barbed wire around their country and around a continent,” says Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council.When does restricting immigration turn into human rights violation?“We believe it's within the rights of any government to set immigration policies that they believe make sense for their country and electorate. But setting lawful immigration policies does not mean that you have the right to mistreat migrants,” says Philippe Bolopion, executive director at Human Rights Watch.Is immigration really a threat to our jobs or services?“Overall, most studies are clear that migrant workers are not in competition with national workers in the labour market. [...] In Western countries, the medical sector depends on migrant workers,” says Vincent Chetail from the Global Migration Centre at the Geneva Graduate Institute.Why are some of us so angry about immigration?“We are reaching a peak in violent anti‑migrant rhetoric, which has nothing to do with reality,” continues Chetail.Many countries are cutting foreign aid and limiting immigration. A recipe for disaster? “If you want to live in a stable world without uncontrolled migration, pandemics and insecurity, then you invest in hope for people who have been displaced,” says Egeland.Join host Imogen Foulkes on Inside Geneva for the full interview.Get in touch!

Democratie en de op regels gebaseerde internationale orde staan onder druk, volgens het meest recente jaarverslag van Human Rights Watch. Er is een bijzondere focus op de Verenigde Staten en wat de internationale organisatie omschrijft als de uitholling van de mensenrechten daar, maar ook Australië staat in de schijnwerpers.

Демократијата и меѓународниот поредок заснован на правила се под закана, според најновиот годишен извештај на Human Rights Watch. Посебен фокус е ставен на Соединетите Американски Држави и она што меѓународното тело го опишува како нивна ерозија на човековите права, но исто така се дава внимание и на состојбите во Австралија. Политиките на Австралија за имиграција и притвор на малолетници се наведени како „значајни пропусти“, наведени како единствена западна демократија без национален закон за човекови права.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with human rights attorney and writer Sari Bashi about her new memoir, Upside-Down Love: A Memoir in Two Voices, came out in English in January. Upside-Down Love tells the story of how Sari, an Israeli-American human rights attorney, created a shared life with her husband, a Palestinian professor from Gaza who is based in the West Bank. Ahmed and Sari discuss Sari's experience of building and raising her Jewish-Palestinian family in the West Bank and the process of writing and publishing the memoir, which originally came out in Hebrew. They also talk about the moral and individual culpability of Jewish Israelis for genocide/warm crimes, the future of Israel/Palestine, and the state of human rights more broadly. Sari is a long-distance runner -- her relationship to freedom of movement is core to her human rights advocacy and a theme throughout the memoir --  and she and Ahmed, who is also a marathoner, discuss Sari's ultramarathons and the importance of running.  Sari Bashi is an internationally renowned human rights lawyer, the former program director of Human Rights Watch, the cofounder of the Israeli human rights organization Gisha, and the executive director of the Public Committee Against Torture-Israel (PCATI). She is a graduate of Yale Law School and has previously clerked on the Israeli Supreme Court. She has taught international humanitarian law at Yale Law School and Tel Aviv University. She has also been a Jerusalem correspondent for The Associated Press and has appeared on, and been interviewed by, major English-language outlets. She and Osama (a pseudonym) are married and living in the West Bank. Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine. He also currently serves on the board of the Independence Media Foundation. His work has been published in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and elsewhere. He earned a BA at the University of Pennsylvania and an MPP at Harvard University. You can follow Ahmed on Substack at: https://ahmedmoor.substack.com.  Original music by Jalal Yaquoub.

Ralph welcomes, Robert Weissman co-president of Public Citizen, to discuss his Senate testimony about the many ways the Trump Administration's assault on fraud is itself fraudulent. Plus, Ralph informs us of a report from Aljazeera about the MK-84 weapon the IDF is using in Gaza that is designed to generate so much heat it literally vaporizes people.Robert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency, to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the president of Public Citizen, he has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations and the wealthy have over our democracy.Every American should be worried about fraud. So it's fine for the committee to be talking about fraud, but it should be based on actual facts and what's actually happening, which is not what's going on with this focus on Minnesota… And without a doubt, if the concern is about fraud in the public or the private economy right now, the number one problem with fraud is the Trump administration.Robert WeissmanThanks to the Supreme Court decision on Presidential immunity, Trump believes (correctly) that he will not be held criminally accountable for anything that he does while he's President. And that is true so long as that Supreme Court decision stands. And I think it's fair to say that basically everyone who's working for him right now—who I think are committing all kinds of crimes, including through the sale of pardons and through the outrageous use of ICE in Minnesota and around the country—I think they expect they're going to get pardoned before he goes. So I think they think they too will be (and they're probably not wrong in expecting it) that they too will be immune from criminal prosecution (at least federal criminal prosecution) for any crimes they commit while they're in the administration.Robert WeissmanIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 2/13/26* Our top stories this week concern the Jeffrey Epstein case. According to POLITICO, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who, along with Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has led the charge to release the Epstein files, “took to the House floor Tuesday and read aloud the names of six ‘wealthy, powerful men' whose names were originally redacted,” in the files. These names include billionaire Victoria's Secret owner Leslie Wexner, Emirati shipping magnate Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and Italian politician Nicola Caputo, among other more mysterious figures like Salvatore Nuara and Leonic Leonov. Khanna used congressional representatives' unique power under the speech and debate clause to make these names public, after combing through the files personally along with Rep. Massie. Khanna added “if we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3 million files.”* Speaking of hiding names in the files, Axios reports that Representative Jamie Raskin stated that “when he searched President Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files… it came up ‘more than a million times.'” The implication of this statement is clear: Trump's cronies in the Justice Department are covering up the extent of Trump's relationship and involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. Another member of the administration, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, admitted under Senate questioning that he had lunch with Epstein on his island, along with his family, claiming he “could not recall” why they did. The administration is allowing members of Congress to view the unredacted files within certain hours via a database they describe as confusing, unreliable, and clunky.* Another surprising revelation from the files is that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries apparently solicited campaign donations from Epstein back in 2013. According to MSN, Epstein received a campaign solicitation via email from a fundraising firm touting Jeffries as “one of the rising stars in the New York Congressional delegation,” and offering Epstein “an opportunity to get to know Hakeem better.” Jeffries denies having any knowledge of this firm's outreach to Epstein and decried House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer's implication that he had any relationship with the late sexual predator and financier, calling Comer a “stone cold liar” and a “malignant clown.”* In non-Epstein related news from Capitol Hill, last week lawmakers held a hearing to probe the operations of autonomous taxi service Waymo. While Republicans chose to focus on Waymo's supposed ties to Chinese companies, Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts grilled the chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, on the company's reliance on workers abroad for key safety decisions. Peña admitted that while some operators are located in the US, others – who step in when robotaxis encounter “unusual situations” – work remotely from the Philippines. Markey called this “completely unacceptable,” emphasizing that these workers may need to react “in a split second” during dangerous scenarios. Waymo is just the latest company marketing its services as high tech and autonomous, but later revealed to be reliant on cheap foreign labor. This from Business Insider.* ICE lawlessness continues to roil Congress. Many Democrats are now sounding the alarm that Trump's immigration police – masked, armed, accountable directly to him and backed to the hilt by the administration – could be used as a tool to suppress voter turnout by conducting raids at or near polling locations, thereby scaring citizens into staying home. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut said “Trump is trying to create a pretext to rig the election.” Murphy, along with some Senate Democratic allies, pushed leadership to demand that ICE be banned from polling sites as a condition of government shutdown negotiations, but leadership balked, per POLITICO. While such a scenario can sound far-fetched, Trump has “falsely and repeatedly claimed for more than a decade that millions of illegal immigrants vote in the U.S., arguing that was one factor in his 2020 loss,” and, just before the 2020 election, he pledged to send “sheriffs” and “law enforcement” to polling places.* Drop Site News' Jacqueline Sweet reports 70 organizations, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Unitarian, as well as civil rights, academic, legal, peace, and human rights groups, submitted a formal request to the National Security Division of the Justice Department seeking a “Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) investigation into Canary Mission.” Canary Mission is a shadowy, infamous group that tracks pro-Palestine activity on college campuses. In 2018, they appeared at the George Washington University wearing spooky masks in an attempt to intimidate the student government into voting down a BDS resolution. They failed. This latest letter comes on the heels of a Drop Site story from January that “showed among other things that Canary is operated in Israel by a large Israeli team.” As the letter notes, the Foreign Agent Registration Act “exists precisely to address this type of potential activity carried out in the United States for the benefit of a foreign country.”* In more news regarding pro-Palestine activism, last week, six defendants linked to Palestine Action, a direct action protest group in the United Kingdom, were acquitted of aggravated burglary in connection with an alleged break in at Elbit Systems, a defense firm with close ties to the Israeli military, in August 2024. The persecution of Palestine Action has gone far beyond normal law enforcement. Some activists have been in pre-trial detention for over 500 days, more than double the maximum limit set by the Crown Prosecution Service. The case of the Palestine Action protestors has drawn outcry from international human rights groups, including the United Nations and Human Rights Watch. As HRW notes, in July of last year, the British government declared Palestine Action a terrorist organization and have now detained over 2,700 protestors over infractions as minor as holding a sign reading “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” As of now, over 20 activists are still in detention awaiting trial, many beyond the legal limits, and the six acquitted activists may face retrial. But for now, the group has scored a major victory in the face of overwhelming odds.* Turning back to domestic news, New York Governor Kathy Hochul appears to have pulled off a fait accompli in her reelection campaign. Last year, former Representative Elise Stefanik dropped her bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination and sitting Rep. Mike Lawler declined to run. Now, Hochul's main primary opponent – Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado – has dropped his bid after Hochul secured the endorsements of New York City Mayor and political superstar Zohran Mamdani as well as the entirety of the New York Democratic congressional delegation. This from the New York Times. This is a stunning political feat for a Governor who won the narrowest gubernatorial election in the state since 1994 when she was last up in 2022. It now seems that Hochul will square off against Bruce Blakeman, the Trump-endorsed Republican executive of Nassau County in November.* Meanwhile in Los Angeles, the dynamic of the Mayoral race was upended this week by the last-minute decision of Councilmember Nithya Raman to throw her hat into the ring against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Raman, an urban planner by trade, chairs the Council's Housing and Homelessness Committee and has “built her political identity around tenant protections, homelessness policy and efforts to accelerate housing production,” per the Los Angeles Daily News. Raman was the first of several Councilmembers elected with DSA support and she has maintained a strong relationship with the local branch despite tensions with the national organization, primarily over Israel/Palestine issues. Bass, who won a narrow election against billionaire developer Rick Caruso in 2022, has faced harsh criticism over her handling of the devastating fires in 2025 and her inability to make significant progress on the city's homelessness crisis. However, Bass maintains the support of much of the city's Democratic establishment, including the unions and much of the City Council and Raman's late entry will make it difficult for her to consolidate majority support across the sprawling western metropolis.* Finally, in a David-and-Goliath tale, we turn to TJ Sabula, the UAW Local 600 Ford factory line worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector.” Infamously, the president retorted by giving Sabula the finger and mouthing, “F--- you.” Ironically, Trump also trotted out his iconic catchphrase “You're fired.” Well, Sabula was not fired – and in fact “has no discipline on his record,” – because he was protected by his union, per the Detroit News. In a recent address, UAW Vice President Laura Dickerson said “TJ, we got your back,” adding “In that moment, we saw what the president really thinks about working people…As UAW members, we speak truth to power. We don't just protect rights, we exercise them.” UAW President Shawn Fain, who has emerged as a firebrand leader of the revitalized labor movement, commented “That's a union brother who spoke up…He put his constitutional rights to work. He put his union rights to work.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

En Birmanie, près de cinq ans après le coup d'État du 1ᵉʳ février 2021, les organisations de défense des droits humains continuent d'alerter.

Certains travaillent donc à côté, dans des cafés, dans la construction, témoigne la directrice de l'ONG. Beaucoup ont dû changer d'identité, ils ont besoin d'aide sur tous les plans. ​​​​​​​»  Ma Zee et son réseau financent des bourses de reportages et des formations. L'ONG accompagne aussi celles et ceux qui sortent de prison.

On February 3, Omar Shakir, Human Rights Watch's Israel and Palestine Director, resigned in protest. In his resignation statement, Shakir said the organization's new leadership blocked the publication of a report documenting Israel's crimes against humanity by denying Palestinian refugees their internationally enshrined right of return. His resignation has reignited debate around the “Palestine exception”; the idea that speaking and writing about Palestine is treated differently than work on any other country. The discussion unpacks why the Palestinian right of return  is often met with double standards and continues to be denied today. In this episode of This Is Palestine, host Diana Buttu speaks with Omar Shakir about his decision to resign, his long career in legal advocacy for Palestine, and the internal battle over the blocked report.

Haití vuelve a quedar en el limbo tras la disolución del Consejo Presidencial de Transición, creado para intentar resolver el vacío de poder que dejó el asesinato de Jovenel Moïse en 2021. Con miles de asesinatos, desplazamientos masivos y denuncias de corrupción, ¿es posible estabilizar políticamente al país caribeño? Analizamos este escenario en El Debate de France 24.

Prema najnovijem godišnjem izvješću organizacije Human Rights Watch, demokracija i međunarodni poredak utemeljen na pravilima su ugroženi. Poseban fokus je na Sjedinjenim Državama i onome što ovo međunarodno tijelo opisuje kao eroziju ljudskih prava. No, pozornost je usmjerena i na Australiju. Australske imigracijske politike i politike pritvaranja maloljetnika su navedene kao "značajni propusti", dok je Australija opisana kao jedina zapadna demokracija bez nacionalnog zakona o zaštiti ljudskih prava.

Demokrasia na utaratibu wa kimataifa unaozingatia sheria ziko hatarini, kulingana na ripoti ya kila mwaka ya Shirika la haki za binadamu ama Human Rights Watch. Kuna msisitizo mahususi juu ya Marekani na kile ambacho chombo cha kimataifa kinaelezea kama kudorora kwa haki za binadamu, lakini pia kuna tahadhari juu ya Australia. Sera za uhamiaji na kuwekwa kizuizini kwa vijana za Australia zinaorodheshwa kama 'mapungufu makubwa', zikionyeshwa kuwa ni demokrasia pekee ya Magharibi isiyo na sheria ya kitaifa ya haki za binadamu.

Democracy and the rules-based international order are under threat, according to the latest annual report by Human Rights Watch. There's a particular focus on the United States and what the international body describes as its erosion of human rights, but there is also a spotlight on Australia. Australia's immigration and youth detention policies are listed as 'significant failings', cited as the only Western democracy without a national human rights act. - ዲሞክራሲን ብሕግታት ዝምእዘዝ ኣህጉራዊ ስርዓትን ኣብ ሓደጋ ወዲቖም ኣለዉ ክብል ኣብ ቀረባ ግዜ ዝወጸ ዓመታዊ ጸብጻብ 'ህዩማን ራይትስ ዎች' ኣፍሊጡ። ኣብ'ቲ ጸብጻብ ፍሉይ ኣትኩሮ ኣብ ሕቡራት መንግስታት ኣሜሪካን እቲ ኣህጉራዊ ኣካል 'ምብሕጓግ ሰብኣዊ መሰላታን' ኢሉ ኣብ ዝገለጾን ክገብር'ንከሎ ኣብ ልዕሊ ኣውስትራልያ'ውን ቆላሕታ ገይሩ'ሎ። ኣውስትራልያ ትኽተሎም ፖሊሲታት ኢሚግሬሽንን ምድጓን መንእሰያትን ከም "ዝዓበዩ ድኽመታትን ውድቀታትን" ተባሂሎም ክዝርዘሩ'ንከለዉ ኣውስትራልያ ድማ ዓንቀጽ ወይ ድንጋገ ሰብኣዊ መሰላት ዘይብላ እንኮ ምዕራባዊት ሃገር ተባሂላ ተጠቒሳ።

El regreso a clases en el sistema público de El Salvador evidenció una brecha entre el discurso oficial y la realidad en las escuelas. Aunque el Gobierno anunció la entrega de paquetes escolares y destacó inversiones históricas en educación, miles de estudiantes iniciaron el año lectivo en centros con infraestructura deteriorada, obras inconclusas o espacios provisionales. En este episodio hablamos sobre los retrasos y el bajo cumplimiento de programas como “Mi Nueva Escuela” y “Dos escuelas por día”, que prometían la renovación de gran parte de los centros educativos, pero que hasta ahora han beneficiado a una fracción mínima del estudiantado.Además, revisamos una resolución judicial que dejó sin efecto las medidas de protección solicitadas por la diputada Marcela Villatoro contra el exdiputado Romeo Auerbach por ataques en redes sociales. También analizamos el nuevo acuerdo comerrcial entre Estados Unidos y El Salvador, presentado por el gobierno como “recíproco”, pero que obliga al país a asumir amplios compromisos a cambio de la eliminación de un arancel impuesto por Washington hace menos de un año.Y cerramos con un balance regional: Gabriel Labrador explica por qué Centroamérica ha empeorado en materia de derechos humanos, según el más reciente informe de Human Rights Watch.El Resumen es un podcast original de El Faro Audio.

In this powerful episode, Ray Powell and Jim Carouso sit down with Yaqiu Wang, a leading human rights advocate and fellow at the University of Chicago's Forum for Free Inquiry and Expression. Born and raised in China, Wang offers a rare, insider perspective on what it really means to live under Xi Jinping's surveillance state - and why the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) domestic repression is no longer just a “China problem,” but a direct threat to global freedom and Indo-Pacific security.Most Westerners assume Chinese citizens have struck a “grand bargain” - trading freedom for economic prosperity. Wang dismantles this myth, revealing a population that never agreed to this trade-off but is coerced into silence by a sophisticated apparatus of fear. She explains how the CCP exports its model of digital authoritarianism to countries across Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, embedding surveillance tools into “smart city” projects that threaten democratic norms worldwide.Key Topics Discussed:The Surveillance State: Wang describes the psychological toll of living in a society where every digital interaction is monitored, leading to deep-seated self-censorship that follows Chinese citizens even after they emigrate to the West.The WeChat Trap: Discover how the “super app” WeChat functions as a Trojan horse for CCP influence, effectively holding the Chinese diaspora hostage by controlling their primary news source and connection to family back home.Xinjiang & Human Rights: An in-depth look at the mass internment of Uyghurs, the predictive policing algorithms that flag innocent behaviors (like buying gym weights) as terrorist threats, and the heartbreak of watching the U.S. retreat from its role as a global champion of human rights.Transnational Repression: How Beijing's reach extends far beyond its borders, harassing dissidents on foreign soil and pressuring foreign governments to silence critics.Tune in to understand why the fight for human rights in China is inextricably linked to the national security of the United States and its allies.About the Guest:Yaqiu is a prominent researcher and activist who previously led China research at Human Rights Watch and Freedom House. She has testified before the U.S. Congress on issues ranging from internet censorship to women's rights and continues to be a vocal advocate for the Chinese people despite personal risks.

Australia es duramente criticada en el informe de HRW por sus políticas migratorias, la detención obligatoria de solicitantes de asilo, la criminalización temprana de menores y la falta de una ley nacional de derechos humanos.

Báo cáo thường niên mới nhất của Tổ chức Giám sát Nhân quyền (Human Rights Watch) cảnh báo nền dân chủ toàn cầu đã suy thoái về mức của năm 1985, trong bối cảnh trật tự quốc tế dựa trên luật lệ đang bị xói mòn nghiêm trọng. Hoa Kỳ, Trung Quốc và Nga bị xem là những tác nhân then chốt của xu hướng này, trong khi Úc cũng bị chỉ trích vì các chính sách liên quan đến người tị nạn, giam giữ thanh thiếu niên và việc thiếu một đạo luật nhân quyền quốc gia.

This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, France 24, NHK Japan, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr260206.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- The 2010 New Start nuclear weapons agreement between the US and Russia has expired, though Putin offered to extend it for a year. An interview with Susi Snyder from the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. How limited are the nuclear arsenals, how do hypersonic missiles change the situation, the US and Russia have both increased spending in the past few years, and how does China change the balance. From FRANCE- We start with 3 press reviews- first covering the backlash in Europe from the Epstein files, then Spain and many more European nations are preparing social media bans for children, and finally criticism of the Washington Post laying off a third of its staff. Rightwing populist Laura Fernandez won the presidential race in Costa Rica promising economic growth, a crackdown on drug crime, and completing construction of a prison modeled on El Salvadors notorious CECOT mega-prison. Human Rights Watch reported that Trump has intensified a downward spiral on human rights and American democracy. From JAPAN- Record breaking snowfall is continuing in much of Japan. Trump has been stepping up pressure on Cuba, saying he is negotiating with their leaders, and the Wall St Journal reports that regime change is planned by the end of the year. From CUBA- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced they will be sending humanitarian aid including fuel to Cuba. On Tuesday thousands of people marched through the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, demanding the release of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, exactly one month after the US military kidnapped the couple in a deadly nighttime raid.

Human Rights Watch has become known for their scathing reports on Israel's treatment of Palestinians, accusing the country of committing  apartheid and carrying out acts of genocide in Gaza. So why did the organization suddenly decide to block a report on Palestinians refugees' right to return? In this 'Mehdi Unfiltered' interview, Mehdi speaks with the author of that report, Omar Shakir – who resigned from HRW this week, after nearly a decade of leading the organization's Israel and Palestine team.

Ustanovitev urada za izgone migrantov, ki jo je včeraj napovedal opozicijski poslanec Žan Mahnič v primeru vlade pod vodstvom SDS-a, nova varuhinja človekovih pravic Simona Drenik Bavdek vidi skozi prizmo predvolilnega dogajanja. Kot dodaja, je naša država na tem področju vezana na evropski pravni red, izven katerega ne vidi možnosti delovanja. Druge teme: - Nenadzorovane migracije so med Slovenci na prvem mestu zaskrbljenosti zaradi varnostnih vprašanj, drugod v Evropski uniji pa na petem. Državljane povezave sicer najbolj skrbijo konflikti in vojne v bližini. Za končanje tiste v Ukrajini so se njeni, ruski in ameriški predstavniki znova sešli v Abu Dabiju. - Bela hiša in Kremelj, pa tudi Peking, sicer ogrožajo mednarodni red, menijo v človekoljubni organizaciji Human Rights Watch. Demokratične države, ki spoštujejo človekove pravice, zato pozivajo k oblikovanju strateškega zavezništva v boju proti šrijenju avtoritarnega vala. - Čeprav prispevek za dolgotrajno oskrbo že več kot pol leta plačujemo vsi, so zneski na položnicah prebivalcev domov za starejše nižji samo za tiste, ki so že vstopili v sistem. Za številne, ki še vedno čakajo na odločbe, pa so še vedno visoki. Za pomoč prosijo v centrih za socialno delo.

Un intenso reportage dall'Egitto che documenta il clima di repressione in cui oppositori, attivisti e pacifisti sono arrestati e puniti sistematicamente. Una situazione aggravata da una grave crisi economica, che ha avuto gravi conseguenze sull'accesso alla popolazione ai diritti economici, sociali e culturali. Le ONG come Human Rights Watch hanno denunciato le gravi violazioni dei diritti umani nel loro ultimo rapporto 2025. Un clima repressivo documentato dal Laser in due puntate di Ines Della Valle, che ha incontrato e intervistato avvocati, attivisti pacifisti e sindacalisti, alcune vittime di torture e di sparizioni forzate. Testimonianze e racconti delle vittime o dei loro famigliari, da cui emerge quanto la pena di morte e la tortura siano diventati uno strumento politico nella repubblica presidenziale che figura tra i paesi con il più alto numero di esecuzioni capitali al mondo. undefined

In the aftermath of the war on Gaza, a proposed “Board of Peace” emerged on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September 2025. The body was envisioned as a temporary entity with a two-year mandate to oversee Gaza's reconstruction and economic recovery. Louis Charbonneau, UN director at Human Rights Watch, discusses the proposed Board of Peace and examines the impact of the United States' withdrawal from 31 United Nations entities, most of which focus on humanitarian aid, human rights, and climate change.
