The death penalty cannot be a tool for enforcing religious conformity. Sri Lankan migrant worker Anojan Sivarasa faces execution in Saudi Arabia over a Facebook comment deemed blasphemous. We join @amnesty in calling for his conviction to be overturned. buff.ly/L9afw9G

No gender justice without caste justice. We honor Dalit feminist Manjula Pradeep (@ManjulaHPradeep), who supports survivors of violence and builds Dalit women's leadership.

Excellent profile by @geetapandeyBBC for @BBCNews on Neha Bora and the Gen Z movement challenging the Modi government over education, unemployment and electoral integrity.
Proud to stand with Neha and this growing movement for Indian democracy. buff.ly/eyMkAOS

A powerful and necessary essay by Pramila Venkateswaran on feminism, Palestine, and the danger of selective human rights. We’re also grateful to see HfHR and our co-founder Sunita Viswanath mentioned in the piece.

Three years of war in Gaza, in numbers, the scale is staggering.:

At least 74,000 Palestinians killed, including 21,000 children. More than 175,000 wounded. 90% of the population displaced. 94% of health facilities damaged or out of service.

We honor Neha Bora (@neha_aisa), organizing for electoral accountability and the right to protest in India. Celebrating Shakti means standing with women who challenge power.

Three years of genocide have left Gaza’s survivors living with trauma they cannot begin to recover from while the violence continues.

Gaza writer Said Alsaloul describes what statistics cannot capture: the daily reality of survival, grief and fear.

Charitable status is no shield from scrutiny. @bellingcat traces $24.4m in US donor-advised grants to Ekal USA and Sewa USA, documenting RSS connections. Seva demands accountability. Hindu nationalism does not get a charitable cover.

As mass voter deletions spark protests, @reporters_co finds missing public records for 1.618 million additions in Uttar Pradesh. The duty to protect the vote demands ethical, trustworthy scrutiny of who is removed and who is added.

India’s Supreme Court demands answers over mass voter-roll deletions, @guardian reports. Power carries a duty to uphold truth and justice. The right to vote cannot depend on those in power deciding whose voice counts

A ballot is no guarantee of democracy when dissent carries the threat of jail. @scroll_in reports arrests of opposition figures and pressure on Muslim voters in Nandigram. State power must protect political choice, not punish it.

Bangladesh’s new Chattogram Hill Tracts committees risk deepening militarisation, rights groups warn. Indigenous peoples’ future belongs in their hands. Peace requires land rights, political voice and accountability.
