🧵1/5 The appalling scenes of xenophobic violence that broke out on June 9 in #Belfast are a frightening reminder of how normalized racism & organized racist violence have become in the UK. A devastating knife attack should never be used to justify more violence. HRW's thoughts are with all victims.

At least 65 Ethiopian migrants are at imminent risk of execution in Saudi Arabia for drug-related offenses. Saudi Arabia’s extensive use of the death penalty is intertwined with fundamental and systemic rights violations. The death sentences should be commuted and the death penalty abolished.

Israel’s attacks in Lebanon—and the threat of more to come—have caused more than a million people to flee their homes. Governments should urgently act to end the potential forced displacement of civilians in Lebanon, ensure their right to return, and prevent further attacks on Lebanese civilians.
#Israel's mass displacement in #Lebanon follows the same strategy used in Gaza, the West Bank and Syria. Forced displacement of civilians, widespread destruction and prevention of return. In short, potential war crimes. My opinion for @AJEnglish: aje.news/gn8v60
Israel’s displacement of civilians in Lebanon is a possible war crime
The Israeli tactics of mass expulsion of Lebanese civilians risk directly violating international law.

Only yesterday, the Israeli military called for the evacuation of the entire area south of the Litani River, approximately 8% of Lebanon’s territory and home to hundreds of thousands of people. Today, they issued displacement orders for all residents of the southern suburbs of Beirut.
Three years ago, at least 94 people, including 35 children, died near Italy in what is known as the Cutro shipwreck. Humane and rational migration policies are possible, and there is now a rare chance for accountability. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3OwsMud
