📢 In Nov 2025, I visited N Kivu province in eastern #DRC to document the impact of the brutal campaign of violence against civilians by the Islamic State-linked, Allied Democratic Forces (#ADF). We documented abuses that amount to war crimes & crimes against humanity. @amnesty.org

Thoughts with Filipino journalists & others inside the Senate amid chaos surrounding attempts to arrest ex PNP Chief who was in charge during #Duterte’s so-called “war on drugs”. On Monday the #ICC confirmed it had issued an arrest warrant agnst dela Rosa as part of its CAH case.

New by @amnesty.org on Israel’s systematic destruction of high-rise buildings in Gaza. UN Satellite Centre: based on imagery collected 22-23 Sep 2025, 83% of structures in Gaza were damaged/destroyed; 37% increase comp to 2 mo prior. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Four years later — no arrests, no charges. Impunity that undoubtedly contributed to the killing of hundreds of journalists since. According to CPJ, in 2025 alone, Israel killed at least 84 media workers & journalists, far more than any other country. #JusticeForShireen #JournalismIsNotACrime

Today marks 4 years since Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot & killed by the IDF while reporting in the West Bank. Both the Trump & Biden admins have failed to get justice for her killing. [1/2]

RDC: un rapport d'Amnesty accuse les rebelles ADF de crimes contre l'humanité

This is most acutely felt by former female combatants and other female survivors of the group's abhorrent violence. In this regard, we at Team Bridgeway will soon also have a new paper out on the role and experiences of women in ISCAP.

This new report on ISCAP/ADF from @rawya.bsky.social @amnesty.org does a superb job of highlighting not only the many atrocities committed by the group in eastern #Congo on almost a daily basis, but also the lasting emotional and societal impact on survivors www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Good morning to everyone except those who commit crimes against humanity (and war crimes). www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

Just gonna leave this here. (Borrowed image)

It goes without saying that what is happening @washingtonpost.com is part of a wider effort to dismantle news institutions in the US at a time when they’re needed the most. From NPR to CBS to WaPo — those responsible for rights abuses know full well the power of honest journalism.

Damn. Bezos really went for the darkness.

In Nov, I visited E #DRC to investigate acts by Islamic State-linked #ADF. 40+ victims (men, women, children) spoke of abductions, killings, sexual violence, forced labor. My @amnesty.org OpEd on ADF’s #warcrimes, need for UNSC/others to do more to protect civilians. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

“The Coalition Air Forces conducted a limited military operation this morning targeting weapons and combat vehicles unloaded from the two ships at the port.” Mind boggling the statement refers to this as an act of the “coalition”. Perhaps since that’s the legal cover for Saudi mil action in #Yemen?

I can’t believe we are watching the deliberate starvation in Gaza and are this helpless. How is this 2025? How did we as a human race allow this to happen? How?

It's out! The Dangerous Rise of "Dual-Use" Objects in War Coauthored with @mararevkin.bsky.social and @azmatzahra.bsky.social. We show that the targeting of dual-use objects over the last several decades has placed civilians at great risk. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Badar’s fellowship is partially subsidized by the Scholars at Risk program, which works with U.S. universities to host international scholars facing threats in their countries. He never imagined that a country with a Scholars at Risk program would one day pose a risk to scholars. A powerful essay ⤵️

"In some 36 strikes about which the UN Human Rights Office corroborated information, the fatalities recorded so far were only women and children." Read that again. www.ohchr.org/en/press-bri...
