Sir Patrick Stewart was best known for playing heroes on screen, but one of his bravest acts was telling the truth about his own childhood and speaking up for human rights. For many years, he stood with Amnesty and spoke openly about the violence his mother suffered at home to support our campaign to stop violence against women. His honesty gave courage to survivors around the world. Our thoughts are with his wife, family and friends. The best way to honour him is to carry on the fight he believed in. It should appal us all that the scourge of violence against women and girls continues, and Governments must do far more to end it.

Tear gas and batons. Suspended metro services and mobile internet. Reported unnecessary and excessive use of force against peaceful protesters. Demonstrators in India were marching towards parliament to demand the resignation of a Union education minister following alleged examination paper leaks that affected millions of students. The Delhi Police responded with violent crackdowns. Indian authorities must ensure that all allegations of unlawful conduct against these Cockroach Party-led protests are promptly, independently, and impartially investigated.

Students in Serbia persevered in the face of a growing crackdown on dissent and inspired broad support across the country. Now the recent snap elections show that people are eager to vote for principles over personalities. The Student List now holds the majority of seats in Serbia’s parliament following a record voter turnout. The protests that led to this historic change reflect the resistance taking place across Europe, where people are demanding their rights - including standing up for improved housing, education and economic conditions.

"The right to protest is not dependent on government approval. It is protected by the Indian Constitution and international human rights law." Protesters in Delhi and Mumbai are demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation amid controversy over the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. More than 130 million people have been deleted from electoral rolls since 2025. The authorities have responded by imposing prohibition orders on the protests, arresting hundreds of peaceful protesters, and suspending internet and public transport services. These actions are a blatant attack on the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. Those arbitrarily detained must be released at once, and authorities must guarantee their right to protest. #HumanityMustWin

Amnesty International’s new landmark 1000+page report exposes how the Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity to crush the 2022 Woman Life Freedom uprising and identifies 87 officials who should be criminally investigated. Amnesty International is calling for urgent international criminal justice to end impunity for repeated mass protest killings in Iran.

States must live up to their legal obligations by taking concrete action to hold Israel accountable for its incessant crimes against Palestinians, including state-driven settler violence. They must halt all trade, investment and cooperation that contribute to maintaining Israel’s unlawful occupation, apartheid and ethnic cleansing campaign. Hiding behind empty rhetoric is not just cowardly; for Palestinians, it continues to be deadly.

Our protest is directed against many governments and sporting authorities that know exactly what is happening to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and still do nothing to stand against Israel’s genocide,” said Alexander Weihrauch, Campaigner at Amnesty International Austria. Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, its system of apartheid against all Palestinians, including the ethnic cleansing in Area C of the West Bank and its unlawful occupation of the whole OPT must not disappear from public attention. These violations of Palestinians’ rights must end, Israel must be held accountable.

Israel must lift the siege of Gaza, restore the electricity and water supply and allow humanitarian access. Its forces must abide by international humanitarian law and take all feasible precautions to protect civilians and refrain from indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks.

In 2022, we've witnessed iconic acts of defiance. Countless times, people took to the streets to defend their rights. A reminder to those in power - we will never be mere bystanders when our dignity, equality and freedom is assaulted. #ProtectTheProtest

Rather than launching a campaign against the ICC and continuing to arm a government engaged in a genocide, US authorities should respect human rights and the rule of law. New York Mayor Mamdani is right: PM Netanyahu should be arrested and tried by the International Criminal Court.

The Israeli cabinet statement as captured in Israel Katz’s social media posts claiming to treat balloons and kites flown in the Gaza Strip as military drones further strips away any prospects for moments of joy for children in Gaza, who have been denied a childhood by Israel’s ongoing genocide. Third states must act and end Israel’s genocide. No more impunity for Israel’s disregard for international law.

This mass funeral was held for 112 members of the Al-Hasayna and Abu Sharia families in Gaza City, killed in an Israeli strike on 23 November 2023. That strike reportedly killed over 300 Palestinians. This is a chilling illustration of a pattern of Israeli attacks wiping out entire multi-generational families. It has taken so long for rescue teams to dig up the remains due to restrictions imposed by Israel on the entry of equipment required to remove the rubble of destroyed buildings, under which thousands of bodies remain trapped. Israeli authorities must urgently allow UN bodies and human rights investigators to access Gaza to preserve evidence, as ordered by the International Court of Justice.

Congratulations to Navi Pillay, the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate! Navi Pillay's commitment to international law, unwavering independence and guiding moral light have made her one of the most respected human rights figures of our time. Not only does this award honour an extraordinary individual, it comes at a time when everything Navi Pillay stands for is coming under increasing attack, as powerful states attempt to hollow out the rule of law and jettison fundamental international rules and norms. Here’s the moment she learned the news, captured this morning at the Nuremberg court by Amnesty International’s Secretary General Agnès Callamard.
