Greece: Activists, journalists decry crackdown on protests

Athens, Greece – Concerns have been growing in recent months about the restrictions and bans placed on protests in Greece, as well as the treatment of protesters, journalists, and lawyers at the hands of the police. In July, as the coronavirus pandemic remained a threat, the Greek parliament passed a bill restricting protests – including outright bans – if they are deemed a threat to public safety. The new law, which also holds protest organisers legally accountable for damage inflicted by protesters, was condemned by groups such as Amnesty International as well as the Athens bar association and the parliament’s own legislative review committee.

(AP Photo/Petros Giannakouris) 12/21/2020 The National Herald ATHENS - Laws curbing protests in Greece’s capital during a second COVID-19 lockdown were denounced by a cadre of critics including demonstrators, journalists and lawyers who said police got rough in trying to enforce it. After the former ruling Radical Left SYRIZA essentially let protesters run amok, clogging traffic and disrupting the city center, the New Democracy government has put clamps on demonstrations. The law now requires that police be notified of protest events and sets fines for organizers if they get rowdy or violent or violate other measures aimed at keeping them confined.

Uganda: Stop killings and human rights violations ahead of election day

14 December 2020, 00:01 UTC The Ugandan authorities must take measures to immediately end the wave of human rights violations and abuses in the context of the ongoing election campaigns, said Amnesty International today with a month left to election day. Voters in the East African country are due to go to the polls on 14 January 2021 to elect a president, members of parliament and local government representatives, in what is proving to be the most violent election period in the country’s history. With election day fast approaching, it is imperative that the Ugandan authorities reverse the persistent use of excessive force by the security forces, arbitrary arrests and detention and attacks on journalists. Authorities must ensure that suspected perpetrators are brought to justice and that victims are granted access to justice and effective remedies.
