12 year old Majella was shot in the back & killed by a British soldier in Northern Ireland. 44 years later, there has been no independent investigation. Witnesses have joined calls for @PoliceServiceNI to urgently launch one. RT to help us add pressure #MajellaOHare

ABORTION THREAD: Referrals to @NHSCTrust early medical abortion (EMA) service have stopped from 5pm today. This is a direct consequence of the sheer neglect and disastrous failings of @RobinSwannMoH @healthdpt 1/3
Breaking: Northern trust confirms its Early Medical Abortion service will cease from this Monday, Oct 5, due to lack of resources. Women will be directed to other trusts. Service was set up during Covid surge to reduce travel - but not formally 'commissioned' by Dept of Health

JOIN THE TWEET STORM FOR UYGHURS TOMORROW if we get enough people we can make an impact. Organised with @phrintl here’s a link to the tweets: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
Today marks 44 years since #MajellaOHare was murdered. We stand with @MichaelOHare02 & family in their fight for justice. See link below to hear from Michael & learn more about calls for an independent investigation - our work continues @AmnestyUK teapawt.net/i/status/1281521795468…
Remembering Majella OHare who on this day 44 years ago was murdered by a soldier from the Parachute regiment. Subsequently the Army went on to lie about the circumstances of her death. Up to now the family have not received justice. Shame on all involved in the cover up.

6,000+ people have now signed a petition to #BanConversionTherapy in Northern Ireland. It's time to end this harmful practice by fake 'counsellors’ telling LGBT+ people they are ‘sick’ and promising to ‘heal’ them. cc: @RobinSwannMoH h/t: @Micky_Murray change.org/p/northern-irelan…

Tell China to stop targeting Uighurs. Up to one million people are being arbitrarily detained in “re-education” camps in China’s north-western Xinjiang. With your support we can pressure the authorities to stop these human rights violations. amnesty.org/en/get-involved/…

This weak statement will be music to the ears of the fake 'counsellors’ and groups who target LGBT+ people with harmful conversion 'therapy', telling them they are ‘sick’ due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. NI @healthdpt must do better: #BanConversionTherapy
Stormont’s Health Department @healthdpt says it “is not in a position” to ban conversion therapy because of #covid19 demands... @TRPNI @AmnestyNI
