NGO Forum urges protection for Africa's human rights defenders
Original: NGO Forum: From restrictive laws to transnational repression: Protecting human rights defenders in Africa
Human rights groups gathered at an NGO Forum session to address the growing threats facing human rights defenders across Africa, from restrictive NGO laws to transnational repression. Organised by the International Service for Human Rights, the discussion focused on how governments are shrinking civic space and targeting activists even beyond their borders, and on measures needed to protect defenders at risk.
Why now: Concerns are rising over African governments' tightening laws on civil society and cross-border persecution of activists.
