Amnesty International · ASA 37/3659/2021, February 2021

tlte-cite:amnesty-old-ghosts-2021

Editorial gloss

Amnesty: post-2019 systematic government crackdown on dissent — 'civil society organizations and human rights defenders are under renewed attack… a full assault on civil liberties.' Tamils and Muslims disproportionately affected. Establishes the suppression pattern against which post-2024 NPP-era continuations are assessed.
