    HRF stands in firm solidarity with the Tibetan people. The international community must not remain silent as the CCP continues its campaign to erase the Tibetan people's identity, culture, faith, and freedoms.

    HRF condemns Russiaโ€™s latest brutal attacks on Ukraine, which killed at least 21 people, including 15 in Kyiv. This is a deliberate effort to terrorize Ukraineโ€™s civilian population.

    Russia must be held accountable for its blatant and systematic disregard for international humanitarian law throughout its war of aggression. The international community must act now: press for justice and help protect civilian lives.

    The three organizations and other members of Ingabireโ€™s international legal team welcome the WGADโ€™s decision. It is time for the international community to take meaningful and coordinated action and demand the Rwandan regime immediately release Ingabire.
