Get on the Bus 2022 focused on calling on:
  • Sri Lanka to provide justice for Ragihar Manoharan and the Trinco Five, and accountability for their killings
  • China to end mass detentions of Uyghur people and unconditionally release all prisoners of conscience in China and Tibet, including Uyghur economist and professor Ilham Tohti and Tibetan monk, Rinchen Tsultrim
  • Syria to unconditionally release Rania Al-Abbasi, a dentist and humanitarian, and her family from detention and/or reveal information about their whereabouts. Rania, her husband, and six children were disappeared by Syrian security forces in 2013.
  • Russia to end human rights abuses in Ukraine
