DefendDefenders and more than 80 other organisations have called on the UN Human Rights Council to support a resolution on “the promotion, protection and enjoyment of human rights on the Internet” and to reject attempts led by Russia and China to weaken it.
244 civil society organisations urge Member States of the UNHRC to support the draft resolution on the protection of civil society space, while rejecting fifteen amendments tabled by the Russian Federation that would undermine international efforts to safeguard space or civil society.
DefendDefenders examines the situation of HRDs living and working in exile, and provides a resource guide of the various support mechanisms available to them.
31 Ugandan and international human rights groups call upon the Ugandan Police Force to promptly, thoroughly, and transparently investigate a series of attacks on non-governmental organisations and human rights defenders.
