Today #ECHR found violation of "right to liberty of movement" in cases of 11 #Azerbaijan citizens - most of them are activists/journalists who have unjustly been subject to travel ban for their #civilsociety involvement. https://t.co/XWAcyB0kwH
Alarming developments from #Nicaragua, as the National Assembly cancels the registration status of multiple NGOs that work to document #humanrights abuses. We stand in solidarity with members of civil society in Nicaragua, and urge the govt to cease the harassment of NGOs &CSOs

La habilitación de Evo Morales para una 3ª reelección consecutiva es un golpe anticonstitucional viola lo establecido por la vigente Carta Magna de Bolivia 🇧🇴 y lo hace desconociendo también el mandato popular del #21F de 2016, cuando fue rechazada en las urnas #BoliviaDijoNO
