Remote researching human rights in China is ever more important. Space for Chinese civil society has diminished & access to info has declined. We hope our new toolkit will provide helpful advice & introduce new tools for creatively monitoring human rights tinyurl.com/5428vmzs

Toolkit: Monitoring Human Rights in China

In June 2024, The Rights Practice published a toolkit for overseas-based researchers, activists, and NGOs to research human rights issues in China.

#LiQiaochu will stand trial tomorrow on the absurd charge of “incitement” for exposing the torture #XuZhiyong and #DingJiaxi faced in detention. She reportedly needs urgent medical treatment. The Chairs call for her unconditional release. More case info @ ppdcecc.gov/ppd?id=result&nu…

After China’s sudden, and mysterious, change in its COVID-19 policy almost one year ago in response to the "white paper" protests, it’s hard to argue authoritarian states have an advantage in combatting pandemics. My report… icnl.org/post/analysis/colla…

looking at Taiwan’s COVID-19 governance shows that democracies can do better in gaining the trust of their people by being transparent, collaborative and accountable.

Please read this interview from The New Yorker with the well-known Israeli nonprofit B’Tselem which documented the Israeli state’s support for forcing Palestinians off their land in the West Bank. newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/t…

The Gaza-ification of the West Bank

As the war in Gaza escalates, so, too, has the forcible displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank. Is Israel’s approach to the two regions linked?

I interviewed B’Tselem and other human rights organizations - Israeli, Arab and Palestinian - in my mission to Israel in 2018. Their documentation did not capture world attention like the horrible Hamas attack on October 7 but it should.

Israel’s slow strangulation of the West Bank carries a cost that will be as heavy as Hamas’ brutal attack. We should all be aware of the terrible atrocities committed by both sides. Otherwise we bear responsibility for the consequences of ignoring one side in favor of another.

A year ago today, Taiwan took an important step in opening up by ending quarantine for overseas travelers.  My report👇highlights Taiwan’s achievements and shortcomings from a human rights lens, and the importance of social trust, in combatting COVID-19. @innov4changeEA
