We didn’t vote for you to be complicit in genocide. We voted for you to protect human rights. ‪@kajakallas.bsky.social‬ @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu — you still have time to make the right choice. #SuspendTheDeal

After a decade of relentless struggle, the residents of Wawonii (East Indonesia)finally won a crucial chapter. On June 16, '25, they were notified about the Decree of the Minister of Forestry revoking the nickel mining permit of PT Gema Kreasi Perdana (GKP - Harita Group). #StopMiningSmalIIslands

In Indonesia, violence against environmental and indigenous land defenders has become a new normal. Almost every day, clashes between citizens and security forces are occurring. The state is no longer a protector of the people, instead it got interwined with the interests of the extractive industry.

@11.be supports KontraS' rejection of Prabowo's statement on 'conditionally recognizing' the sovereignty of Israel. It risks legitimizing Israeli authorities while allowing its grave human rights violations to go unpunished. #Indonesia can show solidarity by endorsing the public call for a boycott

Hey @adb.org you can’t host a clean energy forum while funding fossil gas. Flip the switch to people-powered solutions. #ACEF2025

#Eurovision is failing. Why does it allow countries committing genocide????

@11.be is drawing a red line for our policy makers. We have lost so much time, and way too many lives. Each second counts. The fact that the new Belgian government needed 3 months to come with a 'soft resolution' speaks a million. Act now!

WANTED: Netanyahu, Duterte is waiting for you in The Hague

Why isn't he unhappy as well with the IDF constantly bombing Gaza and terrorising parts of the West Bank (this was the perfect moment to do so)

The EU Human Rights Réport 2024, an inconvenient truth for the European right.

Indonesia, lead by Prabowo, an ex-special forces general, approves a controversial bill to extend the list of civil positions to be held by armed forces personnel. Civil organisations are warning this will further undermine democracy in the country as the military's grip on society widens.

Indonesian Civil Society Coalition for Security Sector Reform warns: There is no need to review the 2004 TNI Law (Armed Forces) The new draft bill turns back the clock and paves the way to 'Dual Function'. Keep active TNI-officers out of civil positions!

@theguardian.com forgets one important group: Philippine human rights organisations have worked tirelessly to document hundreds of the killings. They handed over their reports to the ICC, as it wasn't allowed to send it's own investigators

In your face, eMusk

Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte arrested after ICC warrant. Time to stop impunity !

No, they should name and shame their president and take the streets to express their discontent!!

The Free Lunch Program, Prabowo's flagship policy comes at a huge cost. #IndonesiaGelap was trending today & thousands of students took to the streets. Their demands: free education, review of the Mining Law, stop the overall budget cuts, review of the free food program, more pro-people policies

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

JD Vance attacks Europe over migration, free speech U.S. vice president stunned the audience with his broadside on the way Europe is run.

It's not only about being in love with Putin, he even managed not to mention Ukraine in his speech, he focused mainly on the extreme rightwing agenda: migration, free speech, wokism... www.politico.eu/article/us-v...

He must be referring to his friends Orban, Meloni, Wilders, Farage, Le Pen....

China Labour Watch is monitoring the indecent labour conditions in Indonesian nickel plants. Their reports are mindblowing. Who will tell these stories now...

Indonesian president Prabowo’s first 100 days marked by u-turns, missteps … and sky-high popularity Prabowo appears at ease on the global stage and enjoys a high approval rating at home but analysts point to a lack of direction on foreign policy

What do I recall from Prabowo's first 100 days: XXL administration with +100 (vice-)ministers, stating that palm oil plantations = forest, Questioning the sense of elections, Unrealistic growth prediction, Granting mining concessions to religious groups and universities, Weak local currency,...
