- Amnesty International’s latest research has concluded that the Cambodian government is aware of scamming compounds across the country where trafficking victims and migrant workers are subjected to forced criminality, enslavement, deprivation of liberty and torture.
Amnesty International has identified more than 50 scamming compounds, locations where human trafficking victims and migrant workers are subjected to enslavement, forced labour, torture and deprivation of liberty across the country. It is highly likely that more compounds exist than those in this report.
The Cambodian government has investigated 21 of the scamming compounds featured in our report, often making multiple rescues from the sites over years.
Despite this, our report shows that scamming compounds frequently continue to operate with human rights abuses documented after police investigations.
Ultimately, we concludes that the Cambodian state was aware that these comp...

- Climate change is causing unnatural disasters which are killing people in Pakistan, but many of its victims remain invisible.
Floods in 2022 and 2024 displaced entire villages overnight, leaving families stranded without food, clean water, or shelter. Children and older people were most at risk due to rapidly spreading disease, but their deaths often went uncounted.
Through gripping testimonies from flood survivors, this film exposes the harsh realities of climate-driven disasters. Abdul Latif lost his three-year-old son, Ashiq Ali, to flood-related illness but his death, like thousands of others, was never officially recorded.
Aqel, a diabetic older woman, struggled to access healthcare during the floods, leading to the amputation of her leg. Seeta, Khatoon, and Khalid recount the loss of their loved ones, stories that would otherwise go unheard.
Despite contributing just 1% to global emissions, Pakistan is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate disast...

Indigenous Peoples and rural communities in the Philippines are being subjected to numerous human rights abuses amid a rapid expansion in the mining of nickel, an essential component of lithium-ion batteries, Amnesty International said today in a new report highlighting the human cost of rising global demand for electric vehicles.
What do we get in return? How the Philippines nickel boom harms human rights documents failings to adequately consult local communities and obtain consent from Indigenous Peoples about nickel mining projects which have left deforestation, metal contamination and health problems in their wake in the provinces of Zambales and Palawan. It is highly likely that nickel mined from these sites is entering the supply chains of major electric vehicle (EV) companies.

- The Trump administration’s anti-rights campaign is turbocharging harmful trends already present, gutting international human rights protections and endangering billions across the planet, Amnesty International warned today upon launching its annual report, The State of the World’s Human Rights.
This “Trump effect” has compounded the damage done by other world leaders throughout 2024, eating away at decades of painstaking work to build up and advance universal human rights for all and accelerating humanity’s plunge into a brutal new era characterized by intermingling authoritarian practices and corporate greed, Amnesty International said in its assessment of the situation in 150 countries.

The report, Protest under attack: Human rights violations during Mozambique's post-2024 election crackdown, documents security forces firing lethal weapons, tear gas and kinetic impact projectiles (commonly known as “rubber bullets”) at protesters and bystanders, including children. Authorities also conducted mass arbitrary arrests and targeted journalists, including by intimidating them and confiscating their equipment, while internet access was restricted at key moments.
