US monitoring of human rights overseas may be about to change drastically. If this happens, it will be catastrophic for human rights defenders, asylum applicants, and many others. And could impact human rights accountability here at home.

SRI LANKA: We’re relieved to hear that the Colombo Chief Magistrate last week quashed terror charges against student leader Galwewa Siridhamma Thero in a case filed under the draconian Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA).
Siridhamma Thero was arrested in August 2022 amidst a crackdown on protesters agitating against and seeking accountability for the dire economic crisis in #SriLanka.
@amnesty has been calling for the terror charges against the Thero to be dropped immediately.
