Defending human rights across the world.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) statement on the death sentences imposed on the Jhiram Ghati 10 Adivasi political prisoners.

The local Chattisgarh branch of this longstanding and reputed civil liberties organisation in India has issued this statement on this highly concerning death sentence ruling and the context to it. Written from a civil liberties perspective, not a political one, we - the campaign in Britain for the release of the Jhiram Ghati 10 - are sharing this statement as a useful resource and point of reference about the case.

We urge other human rights and civil liberties organisations - as well as political organisations - globally to speak out on this as we build our campaign.

Shame on a system that makes a girl choose between her education and her faith. 🧕💔

Education is a right, not a privilege. No girl should have to sacrifice her beliefs to enter a classroom. Let girls learn, let them dream, and let them choose.

Stop discrimination. Let every girl learn with dignity and freedom. 🇦🇿✊

It is heartbreaking and shameful when girls face barriers to education because of what they wear. If a student is being denied access to school because she wears a hijab, it raises serious questions about equality, religious freedom, and the right to education.

Education should open doors, not create barriers. No girl should be forced to choose between her education and her personal beliefs. Every student deserves dignity, equal opportunities, and the freedom to pursue knowledge without discrimination.

A classroom should be a place of learning, not a place of exclusion. Stand with girls. Stand for education. Stand for freedom. 🧕📚✊

Women being dragged. Protesters being manhandled. Journalists detained while documenting events. Women journalists alleging sexual harassment by police personnel.

And somehow, the conversation still gets reduced to which political party someone supports or irrespective of a permission was given

NO.

A woman’s right to dignity does not depend on her politics. A journalist’s right to report does not depend on whether their reporting is convenient for those in power. She is someone’s daughter, sister, friend. But even if she weren’t, she is a human being who deserves dignity.

You do not have to support CJP, Congress, BJP, or any political party to oppose police brutality.

The allegations emerging from the Delhi protests deserve transparent, independent investigations, preservation of evidence, and accountability wherever misconduct is established. Women must be able to protest and report without fear of violence or sexual harassment.

Women’s rights are human rights. Press freedom is a democratic necessity. A uniform is not immunity from accountability.

To women’s rights organisations, feminist collectives, grassroots movements, press associations and international human-rights bodies: please pay attention to what is happening in India. Document the allegations. Amplify the reporting. Demand accountability.

Silence cannot be the price of public participation.

🇮🇳 INDIA DESERVES BOTH DEMOCRACY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

An indissoluble fate binds Shahjehan and her spouse across Lahore, where imminent agonizing separation portend irrevocable tragedy. We adjure @UNHumanRights and global news media to scrutinize this plea and mandate our immediate unification.

Malaiyaha Tamil workers in private tea estates in Sri Lanka suffer widespread forms of abuse including intimidation and threats, physical violence and harassment, debt bondage, restrictions on movement, and poor working and living conditions.

These abuses may amount to forced labour.

Malaiyaha Tamils – descendants from workers brought to Sri Lanka from the southern part of India by British colonizers - have long experienced systemic and structural racial discrimination and exclusion, which have made them vulnerable to forced labour.

Read Amnesty’s recent report titled 'Abandoned by the state, trapped in private estates' and share with your networks!

Stranded in Islamabad without a penny, and now my lifeline is stuck at Thokar Lahore with no auto fare to reach home. When basic dignity and movement are out of reach, what is Pakistan up to? This is a profound test of conscience. #Islamabad #Lahore

If she is, then Shahjehan is—and vice versa. God forbid if anything bad happens to either of them, the UN must step in to inquire and investigate this immediately. Lives and safety are on the line. @UNHumanRights #Islamabad #Lahore

Urgent Plea for Humanity 🚨

A dying couple stands at death's door, torn apart by cruel destitution. Nasreen is gravely ailing, and her heartbroken husband desperately needs to reach his Lahore home for life-saving surgery.

Stranded in Islamabad without a penny, they cannot even afford a basic coach fare to reunite and save each other's lives. This is a profound test of human conscience. We are begging the international community, authorities, and compassionate souls—please look at their videos, act before it is too late, and help fund their travel and medical emergency.

Save them from this heartbreak! 💔
