Top Human Rights Tweets of the Week

In this week’s most shared tweets: President Trump’s first trip abroad dominated headlines, social media, and all manner of memes, from handshakes, to non-hand holding, to an orb ripped straight from science fiction tropes. Somewhat lost in the coverage, a shocking arms deal to Saudi Arabia despite the kingdom’s abhorrent behavior in Yemen. Also this week, the Manchester bombing; more preventable deaths at sea in the Mediterranean; repression and resistance in Venezuela; a terrible caning in Indonesia; and a sliver of good news as Taiwan became the first country in Asia to honor same-sex marriage.
