Stop the Killings – Front Line Defenders Annual Report 2016
As our annual report documents, at least 156 human rights defenders were killed or died in detention in 2015.
Speaking at the launch of “Stop the Killings – Front Line Defenders Annual Report 2016”, the organisation’s Executive Director, Mary Lawlor outlined how, “Human rights defenders (HRDs) face increasingly restrictive and brutal environments in every region of the globe. Extreme violence is being used more frequently and in more countries, while fabricated prosecutions and unfair trials have become the norm in many parts of the world. Those who target HRDs have stepped up their efforts to silence them, both within their borders and internationally”.
