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.
