The UK government continues to fail to meet their international obligations to help stop the ongoing genocide in Gaza. We need to keep mobilising and keep demanding justice. We can’t be silent. Ceasefire now. End Israeli Apartheid

"Four years of therapy doesn’t just erase 14 years of hate from men online." On World Poetry Day, we're sharing Mahalia’s powerful spoken word from last night's Mahalia Presents: Change the Record. She took the mic and dropped truth—unfiltered, raw, and real—opening up about her own experiences with online misogyny. She’s not staying silent, and neither should we. Misogyny isn’t just words on a screen. It has real consequences. Women's rights are human rights, and every woman deserves to exist—and be heard—without fear. It’s time to change the record.

📣 BREAKING: Hong Kong human rights defenders call for government action outside Parliament The UK government has failed to protect Hong Kongers in the UK from being harassed and repressed. But Hong Kong won’t be silenced! Amnesty International UK, Hong Kong activists in the UK - including those facing persecution under Article 23 and who have also had ‘Wild West’-style bounties put on their heads, and diaspora organisations are marking the first anniversary of Hong Kong passing the repressive National Security Ordinance, Article 23 (19 March) by sending a letter to the Prime Minister calling for better protection from the long arm of the Hong Kong authorities. Read the letter: http://amn.st/60480Wi6m Article 23 is designed to intimidate and silence Hong Kong activists, journalists and students and stifle all criticism of the Chinese and Hong Kong authorities and their policies, both within the city and globally. There are at least seven activists exiled in the UK, all face persecution by the HK authorities under Article 23 and they also had HK$1m (£105,000) bounties put on their heads in 2023 and 2024 under Hong Kong’s National Security Law, increasing the already-existing climate of fear in the territory. Transnational repression must end. Join the movement: http://amn.st/60400Wi6o

🚨 Last night, the Israeli military massively escalated its assault on Gaza, killing and injuring civilians, including children. The death toll is still rising. Yet, countries like the UK and the US continue to facilitate this ongoing genocide by transferring arms to Israel. The UK Government, along with Israel, must acknowledge the resolutions from the international courts and juries and stop breaking international law.

The Government has the choice to end poverty, but today they have made the political choice to worsen it. http://amn.st/60490gCIz

Three years ago, Nazanin & Anoosheh were freed. But others are still wrongly imprisoned abroad. Their families—and those who’ve been through it—are speaking out. The UK must do more to secure their path to freedom. #PathToFreedom

A new UN report has accused the Israeli authorities of genocidal acts. Israeli forces have systematically destroyed healthcare facilities, blocked aid and used sexual violence as part of their war tactics. This was deliberately done to bring about the destruction of Palestinians and to prevent births - this is genocide. This is another reminder to the UK government to comply with its legal obligations to help end Israeli apartheid and the genocide of Palestinians. Read more here: http://amn.st/60460VQaQ
