Editorial gloss

Amnesty's January 2024 institutional statement on the Online Safety Act. Anchors the case-suppression article on the OSA — documents the Act's incompatibility with ICCPR Art 19 and its design as 'the newest weapon in the government's arsenal' for suppressing dissent. Pairs with article19-srilanka and the Special Rapporteur communication chain.
