Sign the petition to free Dr Hussam Abu Safiya

Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, has been detained without charge since December 2024. On 2 July his lawyer reported daily beatings, fresh torture marks across his head and body, and warned of an "imminent threat to life". He told the lawyer: "This is the last time you'll see me". Israel's Supreme Court has extended his detention to at least October 2026. Sign Amnesty's petition demanding his immediate and unconditional release.

His lawyer's 2nd July warning of an imminent threat to his life is the most alarming update yet. Public pressure on the UK Government to intervene is one of the levers still available.

Andy Burnham took office on Monday 20 July and said in his first Palestine statement that he'd 'look at further sanctions' on Israel. Send an email to put pressure on him to stick to his words. PSC's tool sends Burnham a template asking for the specific measures Labour has resisted: a two-way arms embargo, a settlement trade ban, and enforcement of the ICC arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant. The tool sends the email straight to the PM's office.

Burnham's Palestine position is being set right now. The first two weeks of a premiership shape what a leader thinks the public wants.

Understand the roots of Sudan's devastating war, who is fighting, and why millions of civilians have been caught in the crisis. This clear explainer provides the essential context needed to better understand one of the world's most overlooked humanitarian disasters.

Read Amnesty’s report on the RSF’s atrocities in El Fasher, the last army-controlled city in Sudan's Darfur region. The report highlights crimes against humanity including sexual violence, targeted killings, and ethnic-based attacks against civilians. Sudan's war has now displaced over 10 million people, famine has been confirmed in multiple locations, making it one of the world's largest humanitarian crises.

The report was released on July 1st and El Fasher remains under siege. Reading and processing what's happening is a step towards taking further action for Sudan.
