7/7 #Angola| We will continue monitoring the situation and expect specific answers to our questions. The right to peaceful protest is fundamental in every democracy. 👉 Full documents:

Letter: spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBas...

Response: spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBas...

6/7 #Angola| Concerning that the response compares these events to protests in Spain, France and USA, without addressing disproportionate use of lethal force. No comparison justifies human rights violations. Investigations must be independent and transparent. ⚖️

5/7 #Angola| The response mentions 60 minors were returned to families within 24h and lawyers ensured due process. However, it doesn't specifically address our 11 questions about independent investigations, accountability or current status of detainees. 🔍

4/7 #Angola| The government responded acknowledging 47 deaths (not 30), 142 injured and 1,686 arrests. It attributes events to organized groups that diverted legitimate protests toward vandalism. Claims police used progressive force and serious cases are under investigation. 📋

3/7 #Angola| Particularly concerning cases: Osvaldo Kaholo, human rights defender, detained for "incitement to violence" after a live broadcast. Serrote José de Oliveira, activist shot and detained without adequate medical care. #DefendDefenders

2/7 #Angola| We expressed serious concern about indiscriminate use of lethal force against peaceful protesters, arbitrary detention of activists, journalists and at least 83 children, and expedited summary trials without adequate procedural guarantees. #FreedomOfAssembly

5/5 #USA | The communication urges the U.S. to justify its decision, ensure due process, and safeguard the legitimate work of human rights defenders. I invite you to read the full letter to understand the seriousness of the precedent it sets. ➜ spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBas...

4/5 #USA | This measure replicates a broader pattern: the expansive use of counter-terrorism laws to restrict or criminalize Palestinian civil society. The effect is clear: fear, self-censorship, and a weakened human rights sector.

3/5 #USA | The issue isn’t only the sanction itself: it’s the lack of disclosed evidence that would allow #Addameer to appeal. Without information, there is no due process. Nor proportionality. The result: frozen accounts, forced staff resignations, and suspension of platforms.

2/5 #USA | We warn that these sanctions impact fundamental rights: freedom of expression, association, and participation in public affairs. They also directly affect the right to legal representation for Palestinian detainees—already facing well-documented due process violations.

#Brazil also, "decisions about the type of equipment to be used should also be guided by a risk assessment, recognizing that the pre-emptive deployment of excessively protected and equipped officers can have a chilling effect on participants and on occasion
raise the level of tension" (A/HRC/55/60).

4️⃣ #Mexico | Asimismo, recibimos denuncias de amenazas directas contra personal acompañante de SweFOR, incluyendo mensajes, llamadas de intimidación y contenido violento. Estas acciones buscan silenciar a quienes acompañan y documentan violaciones en la región.
