When visiting China, Swedish Foreign Minister Malmer Stenergard should focus on 1) human rights and growing Chinese repression including in Xinjiang and 2) Chinese transnational repression, to secure the release of bookseller Gui Minhai. www.hrw.org/news/2025/10...

Idag är Sveriges utrikesminister i Kina för samtal. Hon bör kräva att Gui Minhai, som hållits i 10 år, frisläpps omedelbart. Mänskliga rättigheter sägs vara en hörnsten i svensk utrikespolitik, då måste de vara det även i dagens samtal. Skriver i Aftonbladet: www.aftonbladet.se/a/vg4RpL

Sweden should adopt an international law-based and ethical approach to new technology - which means adopting new legally binding rules on autonomous weapon systems. Wait and see is not an option. Killer robots must be banned before it’s too late. www.hrw.org/news/2025/04...

Inför dagens EU-möte skriver HRW i Aftonbladet, tillsammans med Act Svenska Kyrkan och Diakonia, om behovet av ny svensk politik för Gaza; ompröva biståndsstrategin, följ den internationella domstolens beslut och se till att EU:s avtal med Israel efterlevs. aftonbladet.se/a/RzpdeJ

Israeli military forces caused deaths and unnecessary suffering of Palestinian patients while occupying hospitals in the Gaza Strip during the current hostilities, amounting to war crimes. Those responsible, including senior Israeli officials, should be held to account. www.hrw.org/news/2025/03...

Azerbaijani opposition leader Tofig Yagublu convicted on bogus charges, as the government again uses the criminal justice system to retaliate against its critics. Azerbaijan should immediately free Yagublu and all other unjustly imprisoned journalists and activists. www.hrw.org/news/2025/03...

The landmark call on February 27, to end a decades-long armed insurgency against the Turkish state should be a catalyst to end its abusive use of terrorism charges to criminalize and silence government critics including politicians, journalists, lawyers, and activists. www.hrw.org/news/2025/02...

Alarming: Repression and displacement in West Bank reach unprecedented levels. States should act to prevent further atrocities, including by imposing targeted sanctions, suspending arms transfers to Israel, banning trade with illegal settlements, and supporting the ICC. www.hrw.org/news/2025/02...

Reconstruction in Syria is critical to protect basic rights. Sweeping sanctions imposed by the United States, EU, the UK, and other countries are hindering the restoration of essential services. Sanctions that harm civilians should immediately be lifted. www.hrw.org/news/2025/02...

Google has announces a willingness to develop AI for weapons, backtracking on its own principles on AI. Abandoning self-proclaimed forbidden practices is deeply concerning and underscores why voluntary guidelines are not a substitute for regulation and enforceable law. www.hrw.org/news/2025/02...

There is broad agreement that AI can undermine democracy, and emerging awareness on what to do about it. Today, I’m joining interesting discussions how we can build AI and democratic institutions that can contribute to the common good - at the WASP-HS 2024 conference on AI for Humanity & Society.

A Russian court sentenced Aleksandra Skochilenko to 7 yrs in prison for replacing supermarket price tags with info about Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia should release her, strike her conviction, and repeal the laws that enable these abusive prosecutions. www.hrw.org/news/2023/11...

After 4 months, killings in Sudan continue. 4.5M people are displaced. The needs are enormous, the world must act. Countries should pledge humanitarian support. UN should ensure accountability for war crimes, incl sexual violence. reliefweb.int/report/sudan...
