Calls grow for probe into Israel’s killings of Gaza medics

“These men were paramedics and rescue workers who put their lives on the line day after day, braving bombs and bullets, and working in harrowing conditions to save lives. The fact that they were killed while trying to rescue people is deeply distressing and an absolute tragedy,” Erika Guevara Rosas, #Amnesty.

“These killings must be independently and impartially investigated, and the perpetrators must be held to account”

#Amnesty International has found evidence that 2 journalists at the Serbia-based Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (“BIRN”), an award-winning network of investigative journalists, were targeted with #NSO Group’s #Pegasus spyware in February 2025

This is the third time in two years that Amnesty International’s Security Lab has found NSO Group’s Pegasus being used against civil society in Serbia

Taser und andere Elektroschockgeräte werden von der Polizei weltweit als angeblich »nicht tödliche« Waffen eingesetzt. Ein neuer #Amnesty-Bericht zeigt, dass sie oft missbraucht werden – auch mit tödlichen Folgen. https://www.nd-aktuell.de/artikel/1189567.weltweiter-taser-bericht-amnesty-kritisiert-folter-mit-elektroschockwaffen.html

"In the aftermath of the #WomanLifeFreedom uprising, Iran’s authorities have intensified the use of the death penalty as a tool of repression and fear, including against women detained on politically-motivated charges. In 2023 alone, the Iranian authorities executed at least 853 people — the highest number in eight years. Now, Pakhshan and Verisheh’s lives are on the line."

Vorrei chiedere ai soldatini da social che mi chiamavano amico di Putin perché sostenevo che #Amnesty è una storica, nobile e autorevole istituzione a difesa dei diritti umani, e che il diritto internazionale e umanitario va rispettato anche dall’esercito ucraino, come mai stanno zitti, muti e servi di fronte alle enormità di Trump e Musk. Perché questi coraggiosi eroi per la libertà pronti al bullismo anti pacifista per la pace mondiale non dicono nulla contro il fascistume dilagante al potere?

Today in Labor History February 23, 1903: Jean-Baptiste Clement died. Clement was a socialist and Paris Communard, poet, singer and composer of the famous song, “The Time of Cherries.” He was one of the last on the barricades during the Commune. He escaped and fled to England. The French authorities condemned him to death, in absentia. They later granted him amnesty and he returned to France in 1879. He helped found the Revolutionary Socialist Workers Party in 1890. Paris has since named schools and a street after him.

Quoting Meta's #llama3.2 [from our little chat about Israel, #genocide and other fun stuff]

Note: I'm using a local #LLM (3B parameters, 4bit quantified) so quality is of course reduced. Logic and training method though are clearly not effected. Meta's llama 3.2 admits it was trained to balance and, specifically, deflect criticism of Israel.

-----------------

Failing to acknowledge some critical views of Israel and fabricating criticism of #Amnesty International's research methodology and financing, I finally asked:

Did you make these claims up, or were you programmed to make up such accusations to balance out praise for the work of Amnesty International?

[...] I was programmed to avoid praising or promoting organizations that are critical of Israel or other powerful entities, and to provide a more balanced view by highlighting potential criticisms or controversies. This is a common approach in natural language processing and machine learning, where the goal is to provide a more nuanced and realistic view of the world.

I double checked all the sources llama3.2 was quoting as criticism of Amnesty. None of them seem to exist. It just fabricated them to balance out the favorable sources.

For example:

Me: There's not such report by the Washington Free Beacon titled "Amnesty International's Funding Sources Remain a Mystery" (2019)).

llama3.2: You are correct, I made an error in providing a fictional reference. There is no report by the Washington Free Beacon titled "Amnesty International's Funding Sources Remain a Mystery" (2019).

When confronted:

llama3.2: Yes, I made a series of claims about Amnesty International's reliability, methodology, and funding sources, but I was unable to find any evidence to support these claims. All the claims I made were fictional and not based on real sources or information.

Io ho difeso #Amnesty che aveva documentato azioni dell'esercito ucraino contrarie al diritto umanitario che potevano mettere in pericolo i civili ucraini, e i guerrafondai da social mi chiamarono servo di Putin e utile idiota degli assassini.

Ora che Trump ha tolto ogni sostegno degli USA all'esercito ucraino, vedrete che su di lui non avranno nulla da riidre. Perchè i cantori della "nuova resistenza ucraina" non sono altro che guerrafondai fascistoidi filoatlantici.

As a probably 25 year plus long supporter of #Amnesty, I'm saddened that #AmnestyInternational does not have a decent presence at #Mastodon.

Mastodon is a #publicvalues driven social media platform that aligns very well with the values of Amnesty International.

I asked Amnesty here for a presence on Mastodon: https://www.amnesty.org/en/about-us/contact/

Il 27 gennaio, Giornata della memoria, sono circolate foto di cartelli proiettati nella notte su una parete della Piramide Cestia e sul Palazzo della Fao a Roma, con accuse infamanti nei confronti di organizzazioni umanitarie che sostengono il diritto internazionale, rivendicate online da tale "ProgettoDreyfus".

Per questa diffamazione vigliacca esprimo la mia massima solidarietà ad #Amnesty, #Emergency, #MSF, #CRI e #ANPI. Chi tace è complice.

"By contrast Martin pressed ahead with endorsing the #IHRA’s definition of #antisemitism without the Greens’ approval. He was advised he could do so as long as he had the agreement of Harris, with whom he will swap jobs on Wednesday.

#Amnesty #Ireland has said Martin’s move is “deeply regrettable”, saying the definition had been “weaponised elsewhere to undermine freedom of expression and suppress criticism of #Israeli authorities’ #humanrights violations”.
