This week's biggest human rights news (11 October - 25 October 2021)

Check out our latest biweekly podcast focusing on the latest human rights developments and stories from around the world. In the past two weeks, Texas monopolised headlines in the US for a series of controversial laws addressing issues such as the vaccine mandate and a re-shaping of the State's voting map; all across the world, people took to the street once again to protest against undemocratic systems and inequalities; a team of UK lawyers presented a case against officials from the UAE and Saudi Arabia, accusing them of war crimes in the Yemen war; and finally, reporting by the Guardian brings attention back on the increasing weaponisation of Interpol by autocratic regimes, that resort to the organization to persecute political opposers.  Hosted by Laura Sanzarello and Nigel Chidombwe.
