The report documents human rights concerns during 2024 in 150 countries, connecting global and regional issues and looking to the future. Despite some positive changes to laws and policies in certain countries, human rights have been under attack across the world. Authoritarian practices have spread and existing protections for human rights have been pushed aside, ignored or trampled.

We campaign for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all.

Demand Justice for Teoh Beng Hock – End Impunity and Ensure Accountability Within Law Enforcement Agencies 

On 16 July 2009, Teoh Beng Hock, a 30-year-old political aide, was found dead under suspicious circumstances on the fifth-floor rooftop of Plaza Masalam, beneath the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Selangor office, where he had been interrogated overnight as a witness in an investigation into alleged misuse of state funds. He was subjected to prolonged, late-night questioning without rest—an oppressive and unlawful practice. His death sparked national and international outrage, raising serious concerns about abuse of power, custodial violence, and the lack of accountability within law enforcement agencies.

Sign the petition and urge the Malaysian authorities to take immediate, transparent and meaningful action to ensure justice for Teoh Beng Hock.

Demand a ceasefire by all parties to end civilian suffering

The unparalleled escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas and other armed groups has taken a devastating toll on civilians. The level of casualties is unprecedented. Countless lives have been shattered, ripped apart, and upended. 

With each day that passes more lives are lost and the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is getting worse. Sign our petition to call for an immediate ceasefire by all parties to end civilian bloodshed and ensure humanitarian aid access to Gaza. 

Sign our petition and urge world leaders to call for an immediate ceasefire by all parties and put an end to the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.

Urge the Malaysian government to support the commutation of Pannir Selvam‘s death sentence in Singapore

Pannir Selvam is one of several Malaysian nationals currently on death row in Singapore. In 2017, aged 29, he was sentenced to the mandatory death penalty for importing just over 50g of diamorphine (heroin) – an offence that does not meet the threshold of the “most serious crimes” to which the use of the death penalty must be restricted under international law and standards.

Sign the petition and call on the Malaysian Minister of Foreign Affairs to intervene to secure the commutation of the death sentence imposed on Malaysian national Pannir Selvam and others facing execution in Singapore.
