Members of Thailand’s CSOs launches today the “Public Assembly Observation and Documentation for Human Rights” to monitor and document what happens at a public assembly using a human rights based approach. Its operation will debut on 19 May.

Reacting to news that Gina Haspel was confirmed for the role of Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Daphne Eviatar, Director of Security with Human Rights at Amnesty International USA stated:

17 May is the International Day against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia. Here are 5 brilliant lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and intersex activists (LGBTI) who are making waves while taking a stand for their rights.

We are witnessing an abhorrent violation of human rights in Gaza. 52 people have been confirmed dead and thousands injured. Many are reporting injuries to the head and chest. Over 500 injured with live ammunition. This must end immediately.

Human rights are the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every single one of us, anywhere in the world. Human rights apply no matter where you are from, what you believe in, or how you choose to live your life.
