With 4 million children living in poverty in the UK, lifting the two-child limit still doesn’t go far enough.
The UK Government need to end all policies that are keeping children in poverty, such as the benefit cap and sanctions.
We’re demanding justice for Iranians.
Attacks on civilians in Iran, whether by Iranian authorities or directed by authorities in Washington or Tel Aviv, must be stopped.
The UK government must intensify diplomatic efforts to help prevent further military escalation and protect civilians.

The Trump administration must stop playing cruel political games with Leqaa’s life.
Leqaa Kordia must be immediately released, and there must be accountability for the flagrant violation of her human rights.

Amnesty International has joined a long-standing community fight to bring clean water to a settlement of African Nova Scotians whose properties have wells and are next to an old garbage dump that operated for 70 years in Shelburne.
www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Amnesty International is urging action on a Shelburne dump site and is pushing for the site to be cleaned up because of concerns that it's contaminating the well water of Black Nova Scotians who live nearby.

Thank you to the many artists - including Olivia Dean, Billie Eilish and Bad Bunny - for using their acceptance speeches at the Grammys to reject the rise in anti-immigration narratives and policies peddled by those in the media and in power.

A very engaging conversation with @ec.europa.eu & @europarl.europa.eu trainees at Amnesty International’s European Institutions Office.
We discussed @amnestyeu.bsky.social’s advocacy work and exchanged views on how to advance and strengthen human rights in the EU.
More than 1,300 people have been executed in #Iran in 2025 - the highest figure recorded in decades. Thousands more are at risk as Iranian authorities continue to weaponize the death penalty.
At @amnesty.org we call on the international community to take urgent action to stop this horror.
Happy Friday!
ICYMI, Spain approved a plan to grant legal status to thousands of migrants this week.
This smart, workable & humane initiative is a rare silver lining in today's toxic politics on migration.
Other EU member states should take note!
Aloys Bigirumwami, Bahati Nshangalume and Patient Basimike Bukombe Barhuze are Congolese men from eastern DRC.
They are just 3 of countless people forcibly disappeared by fighters from Rwanda-backed M23 armed group in the midst of the current armed conflict.
