Parliament's foreign affairs committee has issued a report on the situation facing human rights defenders and journalists. Yet it almost entirely ignores Israeli violations in a year when journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered and 6 Pal. human rights groups were shut down. Image The report has a section on the killings of journalists, but it does not mention Shireen Abu Akleh who was killed by Israeli forces over 6 months ago. The report also includes a list of tributes to 28 human rights defenders, but the list does not include any Palestinians. ImageImage

Henry has been calling for international military intervention, something which is opposed by Haitian civil society. cbc.ca/news/politics/… “People also have denounced Western nations for continuing to back Henry, despite the prime minister’s decision last year to indefinitely postpone presidential and legislative elections, as well as a constitutional referendum, amid the political crisis.” aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/…
