50,000 phone numbers leaked. Journalists and activists targeted. Heads of State hacked. Last year, the #PegasusProject exposed the scale of human rights violations perpetrated through secretive cyber surveillance. Yet one year on, not enough has changed.

Around the world, prohibition of safe abortion kills thousands of women and girls every year. No one should be criminalized, let alone prosecuted, for helping someone to get a safe abortion, and yet, Justyna Wydrzyńska was charged for aiding an abortion in 2021. Justyna’s trial comes at a time when the threat to abortion rights has been brought into sharp focus by the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn #RoeVWade . Anything less than all charges being dropped would set a dangerous precedent in Poland.

Hong Kong authorities banned the #8964Tianamen commemoration vigil, claiming it was “endangering national security”, but lighting a candle is not a crime. Demand justice for Chow Hang-Tung and the victims of #JuneFourth . #WeRemember64 🕯️
