Amnesty International to Monitor US Election Season

The United States, once respected as a champion of human rights for many, has now gained the reputation for the opposite. Amnesty International has grave concerns about the respect for human rights in the United States.

 “The world is watching the United States and we at Amnesty International stand ready to document and denounce violations of the rights to freedom of expression and assembly throughout the election period. The widespread availability of guns, combined with the incitement of violence and the enabling and abetting of white supremacy — at the highest levels of government and by those elected to serve the people — has left the country dangerously vulnerable to civil and political unrest,” said Bob Goodfellow, Interim Executive Director of Amnesty International USA.
