„Morgen sollte in #Lusaka die #RightsCon beginnen, eine der wichtigsten Konferenzen für Grund- und #Menschenrechte in der digitalen Welt. Doch kurz vor dem Beginn meldete vorige Woche die Regierung des Gastgeberlandes Sambia Bedenken an und verkündete, die Konferenz müsse verschoben werden. Inzwischen ist sie ganz abgesagt und die Ausrichterin, die Nichtregierungsorganisation Access Now, erhebt schwere Vorwürfe – nicht nur gegen #Sambia, sondern auch gegen die Volksrepublik #China. Diese habe wegen der Teilnahme taiwanesischer Gäste Druck auf die Regierung Sambias ausgeübt."

Taiwan's president visits #Eswatini despite China's objection
The visit of Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te to the African country was delayed after several countries reportedly withdrew permission for him to fly over their territories due to pressure from China.

#AccessNow has now publicly confirmed that they also believe the Chinese government pressured #Zambia into censoring #RightsCon 2026 because of participants from #Taiwan.
The statement of what happened is a testament of how strong the influence of authoritarians has become and how the global #DigitalRights community is a target.

#China Pressure Canceled World’s Largest Digital #HumanRights Conference
The #Chinese government pressured #Zambia to cancel #RightsCon , the world’s largest digital human #rights conference, at the last minute, accordingto the conference’s organizers. #Beijing was upset that the speaker’s list included prominent figures from #Taiwanese civil society, #AccessNow , the group that organizes RightsCon, wrote Friday.

It seems #RightsCon 2026 organizers were pressured to exclude specific participants and topics:
»The statement, although seemingly an invitation to negotiate, still lacked any concrete information as to why the government decided to announce they were postponing RightsCon.
What the government wanted from us in order to lift the postponement was conveyed to us informally from multiple sources: in order for RightsCon to continue, we would have to moderate specific topics and exclude communities at risk, including our Taiwanese participants, from in-person and online participation.«

RightsCon 2026 in Zambia cancelled, possibly due to Chinese party-state interference, says Human Rights Watch
An activist on the organising committee told HRW that China objected to Taiwanese participation in the conference.The cancellation of the conference highlights the influence of China in Africa.

perhaps now, with RightsCon conference being cancelled due to standard CCP tricks of delegitimising Taiwanese sovereignty, those who call for ally/partner with PRC due to "new world order" (whether they're politicians, activists, human rights advocates) will begin to realise that cozying up to totalitarian states is a short-sighted approach, to put it mildly...

Die Digital- und Menschenrechte Konferenz #RightsCon bringt jedes Jahr an wechselnden Orten tausende Menschen aus der ganzen Welt zusammen,. Dieses Jahr sollte Sambia dran sein. Doch die Regierung dort hat die Konferenz jetzt wenige Tage vor Beginn untersagt.
Diese Entwicklung ist auch ein Ausdruck der immer stärker werdenden Angriffe auf Zivilgesellschaft. Volle Solidarität mit allen Betroffenen und insbesondere den Organisator*innen bei #AccessNow.

RightsCon, one of the most important conferences world-wide at the intersection of human rights and technology, has been "postponed" by the government of #Zambia, only days before it was to begin.
The conference was preparing for 5,000+ participants, about 3,000 of them in-person. Many of them have already begun their travel.
Beyond the suppression of a conference under flimsy pretenses, there will also be a considerable financial impact on its organizers at #AccessNow @noybeu, an international not-for-profit organization.

Sambia sagt den internationalen RightsCon-Gipfel kurzfristig ab. Offiziell wegen „Sicherheitsbedenken“ und fehlender Infos zu Delegierten. Inoffiziell geht es wohl um Geopolitik: Teilnahme von Taiwan und mögliche Kritik an China. Ergebnis: Treffen zu digitalen Rechten komplett gestrichen. Ein fatales Signal für die Zivilgesellschaft.

TIL check the strings attached to the "donations" you receive:
"...However, well-placed sources have told News Diggers! that #RightsCon has actually been cancelled because the programme involves Taiwanese delegates who would potentially speak against #China at a venue donated by the Chinese government."

I last went to #RightsCon in 2019, but, to be honest, #RightsCon2026 is the only thing I've been able to think about today. I see the geopolitical analyses floating around adjacent spaces and I nod, yet I also think: how trivial it was for a few to inflict such a great harm on thousands worldwide.

Now it's official: #RightsCon 2026 has been censored and cancelled by the government of #Zambia.
This is a loss for the global #DigitalRights community, a bigger one for #AccessNow, and maybe the biggest for #Zambia and the entire region, as future human rights events will think twice before setting foot there. 😪
What a needless waste.

This is absolutely wild: The #Zambia government has just cancelled the world's most important digital rights conference #RightsCon 2026 which was supposed to start next week in #Lusaka. 3,000+ participants are now hanging in limbo (myself included), some already traveled to the country.
I feel for the folks at #AccessNow who have been working so hard on this for months.
