The protests in Iran are the largest protests since the #WomanLifeFreedom uprising of 2022.

The nationwide protests started in Tehran on 28 December, and quickly spread to other cities across the country.

The international community must press the Iranian authorities to stop the bloodshed.

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing.

This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.

Starmer is lobbying Europe to join him in watering down the ECHR. This illiberalism will harm us all | Steve Valdez-Symonds The prime minister and his counterpart in Denmark want a concerted effort to weaken human rights across Europe. This isn’t pragmatism – it’s cruelty, says Steve Valdez-Symonds, refugee and migrant rig...

Human rights were built for hard times, not rewrites when it suits the Government.

Pushing to water down the European Convention on Human Rights on International Human Rights Day is a moral retreat, not a solution.
