Our #LethalinDisguise report w/@P4HR breaks down the dangers of #CrowdControlWeapons ⏩ https://t.co/mSksAtQ85j
Protesters have a right to peacefully protest and express their frustration and outrage against corruption and the government’s restriction on the right to freedom of expression including the social media ban in Nepal.
Amnesty calls for the immediate de-escalation of the situation and urges the government to adopt a rights-respecting approach in the policing of protests.
📝 Documented police abuses include shooting live ammunition, torture, arbitrary arrests & uncontrolled use of #CrowdControlWeapons, which can be #LethalinDisguise

🧵Jonathan Navarro lost sight in one eye after being shot with #CrowdControlWeapons during a protest in #Argentina
Videos by people on site helped identify the officer who used this rifle illegally. A court summoned him for questioning & banned him from leaving the country⏬
⚠️El autor del disparo a Jonathan Navarro es el oficial auxiliar Sebastián Emanuel Martínez de la Prefectura Naval Argentina.
🗓️Fue citado a indagatoria el 16/09. Tiene prohibido salir del país.
La ciudadanía demuestra que puede producir pericias claves contra la impunidad.
🔴This video from #Argentina shows police blasting a photographer with water at close range, in violation of protocol. Misuse of water cannons and other #CrowdControlWeapons in protests can cause serious injury, or even death. #LethalInDisguise (1/2)

🚨 Globally traded law enforcement equipment is routinely used abusively against protesters, human rights defenders & discriminated-against groups, during the policing of protests and in places of detention.
#CrowdControlWeapons are part of that equipment. #StopTorture #UATC

1000 days since the #Kanjuruhan tragedy in Indonesia and still no change in how authorities deploy #CrowdControlWeapons. 135 football fans lost their lives when police shot tear gas in a closed stadium. We stand by @KontraSupdates in insisting for justice and accountability.
📢135+ Lives Lost and Still No Justice📢
From day to night, 2022 to 2025, #Indonesia🇮🇩 marks 1,000 days of the Kanjuruhan Tragedy where @KomnasHAM is still reluctant to recognize the excessive use of tear gas to the football stadium by police officers as a part of gross human rights violations.
Instead of a proper full investigation, the state including Police Institutions @DivHumas_Polri persistently fails to deliver justice to victims and family victims of Kanjuruhan.
#JusticeForKanjuruhan #UsutTuntas
🚨#CrowdControlWeapons are a last resort. They may only be deployed in the presence of a clear and immediate threat, after de-escalation attempts and repeated warnings, and never into a crowd. Under no pretext can they be used to intimidate protesters in a democratic society.
20 years after Julio García Romero's death from tear gas inhalation by Ecuadorian police, the @IACourtHR will deliver its sentence. INCLO's @LauraSaraKG writes about the soaring industry of #CrowdControlWeapons vs the lack of regulations and accountability.https://t.co/7BOQ5Tlb0Y
Michael Power, speaks of our history of crowd control in South Africa. #crowdcontrolweapons
🛑#CrowdControlWeapons are dangerous. Police and security forces in #Argentina and elsewhere must respect the existing regulations on their use. The UN principles of legality, precaution, necessity, proportionality, non-discrimination and accountability are bare minimums. (5/5)
🛑While documenting the harms of #CrowdControlWeapons for https://t.co/Q83JtjOJeh, joint research by @P4HR and INCLO members revealed that only between 2016-2021, 2,000 protesters suffered eye injuries from rubber bullets, and another 119,000, respiratory injuries. (4/5)
The #CrowdControlWeapons industry is expanding much faster than the regulation it requires. It is crucial to share info on the arms used by law enforcement, especially when they are used to intimidate and punish protesters as in this case in #Argentina @CELS_Argentina @Omega_RF
#188SessionsIACHR/#CrowdControlWeapons
🛑A coalition of 20+ human rights organizations –including INCLO members @CELS_Argentina @ACLU and @Dejusticia– condemns the use of police weapons against protesters across the Americas before the IACHR @CIDH today at 2PM EST. Here's why🧵
���️Around the globe, the targeted and indiscriminate use of #CrowdControlWeapons by law enforcement violates human rights and seriously harms the health of protestors. This week, we call on the IACHR @CIDH to support international efforts to adopt a #TortureFreeTrade Treaty.
