Four Congolese soldiers raped & beat 17-year-old “Marie” in eastern #DRC. She made it to a health center, but they had no PEP kits due to the abrupt cuts to US aid. Marie later found out she was pregnant & HIV positive. Read more: www.hrw.org/news/2026/01... bsky.app/profile/hrw....

The killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis was unjustifiable. Her death shows the dangers posed by law enforcement agencies empowered to act recklessly & sends a threatening message to immigrants, protesters & bystanders alike. Read @hrw.org's analysis: www.hrw.org/news/2026/01...

US military strikes against two boats allegedly carrying drug smugglers amount to extrajudicial executions that violate international human rights law. Congress should investigate & foreign governments should publicly and privately condemn the attacks. New from @hrw.org: www.hrw.org/news/2025/09...

Important weekend read. Human Rights Watch typically focuses on atrocities far from the United States, but sadly now must shine its powerful global spotlight here in Los Angeles. Much of the violence they document is directed toward press, potentially silencing those who might expose it.

HRW usually focuses on wars and atrocities. Now, they're investigating LA cops' violence against protesters and journalists. It's not because it's a slow atrocity news week — it's because the situation in LA really is that bad.

Nataliia's father died last year when a Russian drone targeted the minivan he was driving in Kherson, Ukraine. Last week, another Russian attack killed her mother. As rounds of talks continue, justice for Nataliia & Ukrainians like her cannot be negotiated away. @hrw.org www.hrw.org/news/2025/08...
