People are seeking change in Belarus. Instead, they’re being mercilessly beaten and detained amid an information blackout.

The authorities in India should immediately order an independent, impartial investigation into the killings by security forces of three people last month in Jammu and Kashmir.

Hidden survivors of sexual violence during Syria's war must not be left behind. Abused men, trans women and non-binary people urgently need support.

There's good news from Colombia, where the Supreme Court has signaled it is willing to apply the law, even against the most powerful. Read this comment by HRW's Jose Miguel Vivanco on the latest developments in a case against former Colombian president Álvaro Uribe.

An algorithm shouldn’t decide a student’s future.

Witnesses and sexual abuse survivors who could provide evidence in an investigation of the Haitian Football Federation president, Yves Jean-Bart, have reported efforts to intimidate them in Haiti and the United States.

And Hong Kong still has many ways to resist, says prominent activist Joshua Wong in an op-ed that was published by the New York Times.
