"Appeals to security routinely obstruct access to information to hold the Gov to account. Meanwhile, many Afghans are left wondering why their data was on a spreadsheet that could be emailed around with a click on the wrong button." @Vicky_Canning

Delighted that my new Open Access article 'Reframing the Windrush Scandal as an International Statelessness Crisis' is finally out. Based on two years of research across Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago & the UK. shorturl.at/nrSyT

Times are changing, so we thought we would change (a little) with them.
That’s right, we have changed our look. But don’t panic, this new visual flair doesn’t change our mission.
We will continue exposing state activity that threatens human rights–just as we have since 1991.

A defining moment of this trial: #GisèlePelicot, in her final time on the stand, addressed her decision to keep the surname "Pelicot":
"When the trial began, my children were 'ashamed' of the name. I have grandchildren called that. I want them proud. My name is known worldwide now. They shouldn't be ashamed. Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot."
Never forget what this woman has achieved.

3/ We also joined civil society in calling for the suspension of the EU-Israel Agreement that facilitates cooperation in areas directly linked to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
What will it take for the @EU_Commission & @EUCouncil to change course?

2/ More specifically, Statewatch and @I_M_I exposed EU funding mechanisms that support Israeli drone technology used in Gaza.
Our research revealed how these funds violate international law and perpetuate oppression and violence.

1/ “Israeli universities are pillars of Israeli racial rule... and now actively sustaining [the war in Gaza].”
Together with @I_M_I, we exposed the EU funding for Israel in March & the press has continued to spotlight the issue.
Yet, the EU continues 🧵

A case has been filed at the International Criminal Court (ICC) demanding the prosecution of seven Israeli officials and one journalist, for the crime of incitement to genocide.

We are extremely concerned that the UK government has decided to suspend decision making in Syrian asylum cases.
The reasons for Syrian nationals claiming asylum in the UK are complex and not limited solely to the atrocities committed by the Assad regime. 1/2

Just received the first copies of my book Crisis by Design! Huge thanks to @stanfordpress and @mcm620951 for making this possible, and to @l_eslava, @marisollebron, and @d_whyte100 for their wonderful blurbs. So happy to see it out in the world!

A clear sign across the world, that UK Gov and other bodies have taken sides and decided which genocide is to continue. One of the darkest and most disturbing moments in my lifetime. Shame on those who allow and enable this silencing to continue.

That is why we call for EU institutions to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement. The @EUCouncil, @EU_Commission, @Europarl_EN and EU member states are all responsible.
Read the full statement and support the call by sharing here: buff.ly/3MWYi0i

1/ Statewatch #AnnualReport 2023: Civil liberties in an era of crisis and turmoil... 🧵👀
A growing extreme right. Rising tension between the world's most powerful states. Outright war, racism and xenophobia, along with growing inequality.
Let's look back...
