More than 1,300 people have been executed in #Iran in 2025 - the highest figure recorded in decades. Thousands more are at risk as Iranian authorities continue to weaponize the death penalty.
At @amnesty.org we call on the international community to take urgent action to stop this horror.

Israel state-backed settler violence against Palestinians is a daily matter in the West Bank.
In 2025, there have been over 860 violent settler attacks in the West Bank
World Leaders have a legal obligation to dismantle Israel’s unlawful occupation and to bring its system of apartheid to an end.

It is time to seize this moment, to end the horror, to heal what can still be healed, and to protect what remains of our shared humanity
Let us not falter. Let us rise. Our struggle to end Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, its cruel apartheid and illegal occupation is not over.

It is deeply concerning that counter-terrorism powers are being used to target protest groups like Palestinian Action.
This is just the latest in a series of measures taken by the UK government to suppress protests, rather than applying pressure on Israel to end its genocide in Gaza.
