RT: @AIIndia The proposed amendments to the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act mark a serious rollback of rights recognised in the 2014 Supreme Court NALSA judgment. Instead of strengthening protections, the bill risks increasing state control over transgender people’s identities.

The Israeli military's killing of the Bani Owda family is the latest in a pattern of increasing use of deadly force by Israeli forces against Palestinians. Those responsible for these killings must be held accountable, Palestinian victims must have justice and redress.

Parties to the conflict must immediately refrain from and cease unlawful attacks, whether direct attacks on civilians, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, or the use of explosive weapons with wide area effects in densely populated areas. They must take all feasible precautions to prevent civilian harm.

Amid rapid expansion of regional hostilities across the Middle East following the ongoing joint United States-Israel attacks on Iran and the subsequent wave of Iranian retaliatory attacks across the region Amnesty International is issuing an urgent call on all parties to protect civilians, adhere to international humanitarian law, in particular by ending unlawful attacks, such as deliberate, indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks on civilians and civilians infrastructures.

Israeli authorities have unleashed a series of unlawful measures such as land registration, that are deliberately designed to dispossess Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and to make the annexation of the territory an irreversible reality.

These decisions clear the path for further takeover of Palestinian land, authorize a record number of new settlements, expand existing ones, and formalize registration of land in the West Bank as Israeli state property effectively enabling Israel’s land grabs.

Israel has invented new ways to violate international law, further entrenching its unlawful occupation and apartheid and while totally disregarding its obligations as an occupying power towards Palestinian civilians. Israel instead has deliberately and consistently advanced its aggressive annexation agenda, with total impunity in blatant violation of international law, which categorically prohibits annexation, settling civilians from the occupying power in the occupied territory, displacing or removing protected persons and unlawfully seizing property in the occupied territory: https://amn.st/6010hsanw

Following Bangladesh’s national elections last week, the new government, led by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), was sworn into power this week. The elections – the first since nationwide student-led protests deposed the government of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina in August 2024 – are widely seen as a pivotal moment for human rights in Bangladesh.

Here, four young Bangladeshis, united in their hope that the new government will make a break with the past, share their expectations on what it must deliver.
