⚖️We hope that this award, its notoriety, and the respect it inspires in the international community will help to boost the will and support needed by international justice mechanisms, such as the ICC, to ensure justice in Venezuela.

Amnesty International has also documented the use of enforced disappearances of both Venezuelans and foreign citizens, as well as the use of torture, and other ill-treatment, even against children. What we are seeing in Venezuela are crimes against humanity.

In connection to the 2024 elections alone, more than 2.000 people were arbitrarily arrested, demonstrating the government’s willingness to escalate the repression when people take to the streets, as well as its willingness to target perceived dissidents in their homes.

⛓️Almost 8 million have left Venezuela of which many were forced into exile. Between 2014 – 2023, more than 15.000 people were arbitrarily arrested.

Maria Corina Machado embodies all those affected or persecuted in Venezuela for thinking differently, for being considered opponents, dissidents, or critics.

🇻🇪Amnesty welcomes the recognition that this award gives to the resistance of thousands of people who have accompanied the award winner from unions, parties and movements in the exercise of political rights, demanding changes and alternatives to the human rights crisis in Vz

– Vi krever at verdenssamfunnet stanser overgrepene mot palestinske barn og beskytter retten deres til å leve. Ikke bare til å overleve, men til å leve slik barn skal, i frihet og i trygghet, sier John Peder Egenæs, generalsekretær i Amnesty Norge.

Very high security here in Oslo for Norway v Israel – a game many locally feel shouldn't be taking place at all, but one the visitors can't wait for after this week's news. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Tight security and political tension hang over key Norway v Israel World Cup qualifier

Hatet som ryster israelsk fotball:– Død over araberne

I det hellige land er fotballkulturen preget av dype forbindelser til politikk, klasse, etnisitet og nasjonal identitet. Terrorangrepet 7. oktober og krigen i Gaza kaster også lange skygger.

Amnesty håper denne prisen, dens prestisje og respekt vil inspirere det internasjonale samfunnet vil styrke støtten til internasjonale ansvarliggjøringsmekanismer, som Den internasjonale straffedomstolen, som kan sikre rettferdighet i Venezuela

Menneskerettighetene i Venezuela

Myndighetene i Venezuela står bak utbredte og systematiske menneskerettighetsbrudd. Amnesty mener det er grunn til å tro at disse bruddene utgjør forbrytelser mot menneskeheten.

- Hun befinner seg i en veldig prekær situasjon og lever såvidt vi er kjent med i skjul og risikerer å bli arrestert og utsatt for tvungen forsvinning. Men vi håper fredsprisen vil fungere som et skjold, og at den gir økt oppmerksomhet og synlighet til menneskerettskrisen i landet

🧵Amnesty International gratulerer María Corina Machado med årets #NobelPeacePrize!

– Maria Corina Machado har stått i bresjen for alle dem som er rammet og forfulgt i Venezuela fordi de tenker annerledes, fordi de blir ansett som motstandere, opposisjon, dissidenter eller kritikere.

Scores of people have been arrested, or even forcibly disappeared, after using Twitter/X to express their opinions in #SaudiArabia. Some even did so anonymously, but still ended up in jail. How was this possible?

Reglene er klare. Men FIFA verken vil eller evner å håndheve sine egne regler.

Så nå går Norges vei til VM via en kamp som ikke burde ha blitt spilt, mot en motstander som burde ha vært utestengt.
