Over 30 #UN Special Rapporteurs have written to the #ICC Prosecutor to express their concern over the pervasive #impunity and ever-deteriorating #HumanRights situation in the occupied #Palestinian territory. They call for further resources to the investigation into alleged war crimes in the #oPt and to investigate reprisals against #HumanRightsDefenders seeking to cooperate with the court's investigation.

Impressive to see the #EU’s call for on #HK authorities to drop the charges against individuals prosecuted solely for legitimate activism, such as Chow Hang-tung @zouxingtong at the #UN #HRC52 . #HumanRightsDefenders need to be seen and heard https://www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/un-geneva/hrc52-item-4-general-debate-human-rights-situations-require-councils_en?s=62… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1638986796917747712 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/laiyanhoeric/status/1638986796917747712#m
