Report Details Human Rights Violations
Amnesty International has documented instances of police using disproportionate force against protesters, including the deployment of pellet guns, tear gas, and physical violence. These actions, according to the organization, violate international human rights standards. The findings underscore the urgent need for law enforcement to adopt protocols prioritizing de-escalation, mediation, and the protection of basic rights during social unrest.
The report acknowledges that isolated incidents of violence involving protesters may occur, but emphasizes that these do not negate the peaceful nature of a protest as a whole. Amnesty International stresses that law enforcement’s responsibility lies in addressing specific acts of violence by individuals while simultaneously safeguarding the rights of all peaceful participants. This principle is rooted in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, wich protects the right to peaceful assembly (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights).
Call for Dialog and De-escalation
Amidst a significant social and political crisis, Amnesty International urges authorities to engage in dialogue with the population and address their concerns, rather than resorting to rhetoric that delegitimizes protests. The organization insists that the right to peaceful protest must be unconditionally guaranteed, and the suppression of social demonstrations must cease immediately.
In light of the current social and political crisis facing the country, we urge the authorities to listen to the demands of the population, rather than delegitimizing them through stigmatizing rhetoric.
Ongoing Monitoring and Analysis
Amnesty international continues to monitor the human rights situation across the country, observing social mobilizations and deploying teams of observers to document events on the ground. The organization’s ongoing analysis will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and potential solutions related to the protection of human rights during periods of social unrest.
