In December, 2020 we will launch our research study on Human Rights Defenders working in the context of the oil and extractives sector that highlights the emerging trends of attacks toward Environmental rights defenders in Uganda. We'll share updates soon.
#DefendingDefenders
Since our last address to the press on September 25, there is a sustained pattern of attacks on environmental rights defenders.
Threats against @FriendsofZoka @AmanzWillieONE in Adjumani and environmental activists in Hoima are deeply concerning.
#DefendingDefenders

#DefendingDefenders
We call for the appointment of a substantive Chairperson of the @UHRC_UGANDA in face of worrying attacks to fundamental freedoms during the ongoing #UgandaDecides2021
