Avaaz

Afghan human rights activists are at imminent danger of being returned to Taliban control. Pakistan must immediately halt all forced deportations. If the activists cross the border, they could face deadly persecution. With a global outcry, we can push the Pakistani government to stop these high risk deportations.

We call on everyone who believes in justice to rise up, speak out, and fight back. Defending protest is defending the future. ?? Join us. Share this.

Now let’s make sure he sees it! Can you help? Share this post now and tag Keir Starmer in the comments ?? We can’t turn our backs on the world’s biggest humanitarian crisis.

?? ?? ?Big Tech is pressuring the EU—now is the time to fight back! Over 40 civil society organisations are calling on the European Commission to stand firm against corporate lobbying and political pressure. "If the EU wants to uphold its sovereignty, it must not pause or weaken the enforcement of its rules. This is not a clash between the EU and the US but rather an attack from Big Tech against everyone else." Europe must uphold the DSA & DMA to protect democracy, competition, and digital rights.

Europe’s digital defences are facing a perfect storm: a disinformer-in-chief in the White House allied to tech oligarchs who are ready to attack any regulations that keep them in check.
