We are appalled by the Trump administration’s crude assault on well-established principles of international law, say @mandeep_tiwana1 and @MariyaParodi of @CIVICUSalliance. commondreams.org/opinion/how…

I have no news about my detained father in Syria. Like millions of Syrians, I’m torn between hope & fear.
We’re searching through harrowing videos, clinging to any chance. Yet, Key international humanitarian organisations are absent.
The weight of waiting is heavier than ever

We call on FIFA to halt the process to pick Saudi Arabia as hosts of the 2034 World Cup before the vote next month. Amnesty International, the Sport & Rights Alliance (SRA) and other human rights groups are also calling for the same.

As late as yesterday, members of Fifa's Council did not know how tomorrow's World Cup 2030 and 2034 "acclamations" would be confirmed
One suggestion, only half-joking, was they'd "count the applause"
There is virtually no scope for dissent

♦️Every sponsor, business, broadcaster+national team associated with the #Saudi2034 World Cup will be tainted by widespread labor abuses unless urgent human rights+labor reforms are implemented—which @FIFAcom has exerted zero effort to achieve so far:

♦️Red Card for #FIFA’s Saudi World Cup
In a betrayal of #HumanRights, FIFA gave its “highest ever score” to #SaudiArabia, which has no labor unions, no press freedom, and a deeply repressive government that punishes any dissent.

Where is Austin?
NEW: @FBI renewing call for info that could lead to the safe return of Austin Tice "given recent events in Syria"
"We are still offering a reward of up to $1 million for information that leads to Austin’s safe return" per statement
Tice was kidnapped in Damascus in August 2012

Daraa is free of Assad today 💚 We remember Hamza Al-Khatib, the first child to be tortured to death by the regime in the 2011 revolution.
Stand with the people of Syria ✌🏽

For the 2nd year in a row, #COP29 is in a country reliant on fossil fuel extraction, where dissent is criminalized, and activists are detained.
Like the #UAE, #Azerbaijan is using the meeting as a public relations exercise. @ptrvctr writes for @Newsweek: newsweek.com/cop29-un-climat…

🇺🇳The annual climate change negotiations (#COP29) is the largest civil society gathering on the UN calendar.
🇦🇿Yet, the meeting is once again hosted in a country where activism and dissent are not tolerated. #Azerbaijan is on latest watchlist: web.civicus.org/AzerbaijanWL…
Mariya Parodi retweeted
🇦🇿#Azerbaijan, host of #COP29, is known for violating civic freedoms. The government must protect #civicspace and uphold #humanrights as the summit gets underway.

John Podesta, senior advisor on climate to US President Joe Biden, answering the question on everyone's mind at #COP29 - says US election outcome was “bitterly disappointing” for climate
“It's clear that the next administration will try to make a U-turn and reverse progress”

Biden's climate envoy John Podesta: climate change "is a matter of life and death". And when Trump says he will dismantle the fight against global warming "we should believe him". #cop29
"The Rome Statute outlaws and aims to punish crimes against humanity committed by individuals, among other crimes. But a dedicated Crimes Against Humanity Convention would move beyond this framework by adding duties of states." 👏

"Having fewer prying eyes benefits evil deeds. And evil deeds are what we can expect as Trump and his true-believing cronies begin to rebuild the government in their leader's corrupt image."
