[UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Housing @adequatehousing]

Shocked to see so many evictions during the pandemic, from Brazil to Pakistan to Bahamas. This scourge must be halted now if only in the interest of global public health - evictions can become super spreader events. They are also inhuman and a grave violation of human rights.
