British courts have found that Shamima Begum is in all likelihood a child trafficking victim, groomed by ISIS, and that stripping her British citizenship leaves her effectively stateless.
But that the law as it stands allows a home secretary to remove her rights. This is absurd.

Spend three minutes watching this man talk in a humane, evidence-based way about penal policy. Then realise that he is now in charge of prisons. And then feel the waves of relief wash over you.

🚨BREAKING: Black people horrifyingly had a 220% higher chance of suffering a botched execution than white people in the modern era of the US death penalty.
Reprieve's ground-breaking report shows that racism extends all the way into the execution chamber 🧵
Maya Foa retweeted
The report documents for the first time significant racial disparities in the way states carry out executions — specifically, states are more than twice as likely to botch an execution if the person being put to death is Black. @Reprieve @mayafoa

“Drug manufacturers don’t want their medicines diverted and misused in torturous executions and the makers of nitrogen gas share the same objection: they do not want their products to be used to kill,” @mayafoa, joint executive director of @Reprieve, said. #deathpenalty

Today is the Women’s World Cup final. Whatever the outcome, we’re cheering on the organisers and players who said no to Saudi Arabian sponsorship of this year's tournament, halting Saudi Arabia’s sportswashing in its tracks.

Our client Ishmail Gome was sentenced to death for a murder he didn't commit and spent ten years in prison before the culprit owned up.

🚨 The U.S. gov't never intended for Majid Khan or his story to see the light of day, but over 16 years later, he is free. We are so proud of Majid. He survived and persevered in a system designed to break him, and never stopped working toward his future. ccrjustice.org/home/press-ce…

REVEALED: A new report shows the rate of executions in Saudi Arabia has almost doubled under Mohammed bin Salman, from 71 per year to 130 per year.
MBS is gaslighting the world, promising to curb the use of the death penalty, while his regime kills people in record numbers 🧵
Thanks for your great work, @MatthewBehren11 and to @judyatrinh for your excellent and important reporting
Excellent report by @judyatrinh on how Canada is forcibly trying to separate these Canadian children from their mothers, all of them arbitrarily detained in Northeast Syrian prison camps under conditions akin to torture. Thanks to @mayafoa vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/m…

A landmark decision to repatriate 4 Cdn men arbitrarily detained in NE #Syria gets to the heart of who we are as a country. While some may bulk, let’s be clear: all of us have the right to challenge our detention & can’t be denied the right to return home. ctvnews.ca/canada/judge-orde…
