4 years in detention without trial.

Indian authorities arrested human rights defender Khurram Parvez on fabricated charges on Nov 22, 2021.

The UN called his detention arbitrary and demanded his release. India ignored this.

This is retaliation for documenting rights violations in Kashmir.

FIDH stands with Colombian civil society in demanding:
Immediate action to stop child recruitment
Justice and reparations for victims
Protection for displaced families
A future of peace and dignity for Colombia's children
#InternationalChildrensDay #ChildrensRights

Children have the right to learn, play, and live safely– not to be tools of war.

Armed factions defending drug trafficking routes are using children as tools for territorial control.

Despite government measures like the National Action Plan on Safe Schools, the institutional response remains insufficient.

On International Children's Day, we cannot look away from Colombia's children caught up in armed conflict.

Forced recruitment of children and teens by armed groups is on the rise in recent years.

Their determination and vision are more than ever needed, yet the room to speak out keeps shrinking worldwide.

At #COP30, we stood together to bring attention to the stories of arbitrarily detained human rights defenders – our friends and advocates.

There is no climate justice without human rights.✊

And there is no COP of truth or ambitious climate action if we do not remember those who cannot be here because of government repression.

Share this message. COP30 negotiators must centre human rights in climate action.

Meanwhile, hard-won human rights protections in draft climate decisions are under threat.

COP30 must prove climate ambition and justice go hand in hand – breaking old patterns, dismantling inequalities, centring those most affected.

🌍🌎🌏 here – and it's an unprecedented human rights crisis. Communities and defenders proposing climate solutions face harassment, criminalisation, and threats.
