🇮🇶 Iraq – kills protesters https://t.co/Z91q8SR81M— Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) October 16, 2019

As the U.N. today elects slave state Mauritania to its Human Rights Council, I share this:
1. "Mr. President, people around the world ask: 'Why does a human rights council include so many non-democracies?' Defenders of the system have a ready reply: “We need a big tent…” pic.twitter.com/TBc9LJCIPi

🇻🇪 Venezuela: 54%
🇲🇷 Mauritania: 89%
🇱🇾 Libya: 87%

SHAME: Venezuela dictator Nicolás Maduro destroyed his country, starved his people & crushed dissidents. So the U.N. just now elected him to its "Human Rights Council."
Also elected:
🇲🇷 Mauritania, which has 500,000 slaves – won 89% of votes
🇱🇾 Libya – 87%
🇸🇩 Sudan – 91% pic.twitter.com/0MQO1v1gGe— Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) October 17, 2019
Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro devastated his country, starved his own people and crushed pro-democracy dissidents. Four million have fled. Electing his regime to the U.N. human rights council was obscene.

I am pleased to announce the launch of the Global Campaign to Expel Maduro from the UNHRC.
We did the same after Qaddafi won a seat in 2010 by a large majority. People laughed at us. Then the madman went to war with EU states who suddenly embraced our campaign & expelled him. https://t.co/Me088Npck3
