Responding to the news that Mozambique has been hit by another catastrophic storm, Cyclone Kenneth, Kumi Naidoo, Secretary General of Amnesty International said:
Since yesterday, 24 April, a number of representatives from Kurdish organisations have been staging a sit-in in the lobby of the office of Amnesty International’s International Secretariat in London. Amnesty International considers this a legitimate, and so far peaceful protest.
Thousands of people continue to languish in Malagasy prisons without having been found guilty of any crime due to the excessive use of pre-trial detention, Amnesty International said on Africa Pretrial Detention Day.
The leaders of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy Umbrella Movement protests jailed today for their role in the 2014 peaceful protests must be immediately and unconditionally set free and have their convictions overturned.
