Activists and civil society face targeted attacks worldwide
Original: Activists and civil society face targeted attacks
Civil society watchdog CIVICUS reports that activists and civil society organisations are facing targeted attacks, according to its Civicus Monitor tracking. The warning highlights growing pressure on human rights defenders, with concerns over harassment, repression and shrinking civic space. Rights groups say the trend signals an increasingly hostile environment for those speaking out against governments and powerful interests.
Why now: Ongoing global crackdowns on activists and shrinking civic space are drawing fresh attention to reported attacks on civil society.
