Palestinian Digital Rights, Genocide and Big Tech Accountability Talk with Amnesty & 7amleh

We were delighted to take the opportunity while our partner 7amleh was in London, to hold
an event at Palestine House focusing on both 7amleh and Amnesty Tech’s critical work on
digital rights.

The discussion, which was moderated by Makan’s director, Aimee Shalan, centred on the
necessity of being educated on our digital rights one year into Israel’s genocide in Gaza and
its ongoing apartheid regime.

Providing both legal and research based expertise, 7amleh’s executive director, Nadim
Nashif, and lecturer, researcher and organiser, Matt Mahmoudi, unpacked the ways in
which Israel violates digital rights, with the complicity of big tech corporations such as META
and Instagram, to spy on and punish human rights defenders globally.

If you’d like to learn more about the ways in which the digital and tech sphere has become a
tool of colonial expansion, the steps people can take to protect themselves, and what we
can do collectively to bring about accountability, you can watch the full discussion below:
