Amnesty urges safeguards as NSW Armed Response Command begins operations

Original: Amnesty International Australia calls for human rights safeguards as NSW Armed Response Command begins operations

Amnesty International Australia is calling for human rights safeguards to be put in place as the New South Wales Armed Response Command begins operations. The organisation wants clear oversight, accountability and protections for the public built into how the armed unit works. The move comes as police in NSW formalise a dedicated armed response capability, prompting rights advocates to stress that any expanded use of force must remain subject to strict checks.

Why now: A new armed police unit has started operating in New South Wales, raising human rights concerns about the use of force.
