Tirana Hassan, the Executive Director of the New York-based independent rights group Human Rights Watch said that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House next week threatens freedoms at home and abroad.
"The Trump administration's first term showed us what they're capable of and particularly showed their lack of commitment to human rights," Hassan told Reuters ahead of the annual report launch."
While the rise of concentrated power is occurring in some parts of the world, in places such as South Korea, people have stood up where there is an all-out assault on human rights, according to Hassan.
We can hope that Republican attempts to curtail human rights in the United States will see the same resistance.
