Very concerned by news of charges brought against human rights defenders Mohamed Turay & Prince Tommy Williams from Lifeline Nehemiah Projects in #SierraLeone. The charges, which follow periods of arbitrary detention, strongly appear to be baseless & should be dismissed @SierraLeoneUN @UNDPSierraLeone
Receiving very disturbing news about the arrest & detention of Mr. Mohamed Turay, Finance Director of the community organisation Lifeline Nehemiah Projects, in Freetown, #SierraLeone. He has been arbitrarily held since Saturday with no clear charge & should be immediately released @SierraLeoneUN @UNDPSierraLeone

Más de un año después del fallo histórico contra #Furukawa en Ecuador, las 342 víctimas de esclavitud moderna siguen sin reparación. La empresa desacata la sentencia y revictimiza; el Estado no actúa. Justicia y reparación YA. #DerechosHumanos #Ecuador

The report shows the Honduran Government had ample opportunities to prevent the murder but failed to, while the global financial and accounting sectors provided the company (DESA) with the capital and the reputation that it needed to - literally - get away with murder.
