  SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ABOUT THE CRITICAL ISSUES  THAT AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL IS ADDRESSING! Protect Civilians and Iranians Unjustly Detained — 3X Your Impact » Civilians are paying the price for unlawful and reckless acts of war and violence carried out by the Trump administration. This should  NEVER  happen. The ongoing attacks in Iran have caused mass civilian deaths, devastated critical infrastructure, and plunged the world into widespread instability and fear. In our extensive investigations, we found that   the U.S. violated international law when it struck an elementary school — killing more than 100 children. 1   Now, the Trump administration is threatening to “ obliterate ” energy plants in Iran. 2, 3 These plants are essential for meeting the basic needs and livelihoods of tens of millions of Iranian civilians. When they collapse, horrific consequences cascade instantly. Clean water becomes scarce. Preventable diseases spr...

  THIS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY: HELP PROTECT WOMEN LIVING UNDER SIEGE » Tony, it’s  International Women’s Day , a global day to celebrate acts of courage by women who have played an extraordinary role in their communities — and also a stark reminder of the many women around the world who woke up today in immediate danger. One such woman is  Lera Burlakova, an Amnesty staffperson and mom who is responding to the crisis in Ukraine. Lera served on the frontlines for three years, fighting for freedom, and left the Ukrainian army with a disability. Weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine, she rushed to evacuate her 4-year-old son, only to return in the same year. Why? Because, she says,  “Russia wants panic. Russia wants us to leave. That is precisely why we do not.” This is her story, in her words: We do not have a bomb shelter in our building. The nearest one is a metro station. If you run to shelter five times a day and often through the night, carrying a child and ...

  MAKE 4X THE IMPACT TO STOP ATTACKS ON IMMIGRANTS » People are being tortured in immigration detention facilities — people who should never have been locked up in the first place 1 .  And I have witnessed the horrors myself. Our recent report details the brutal human rights violations at “Alligator Alcatraz” and Krome Detention Center: People are being chained to the ground, denied medical care, and held in cages with fecal matter seeping from toilets into where they are sleeping. Individuals shared stories with us of guards being violent (which I also witnessed). At Alligator Alcatraz, people are being thrown into  the ‘box’ , a 2x2-foot cage where people are shackled and unable to sit down or move, for hours, and without any water or protection from the sun. This is torture. It’s inhumane. It’s cruel. It’s illegal. And it must STOP. When we visited Krome, people yelled out to speak to us so we could tell the world what they’re facing inside Krome and what they fac...
