"'If you leave home, you always have in mind that you do not know what might happen, if you are going to return,' Lopez had said in 2021 when speaking of his activism with AFP."Lopez had also raised the alarm himself earlier in the year, saying he had noticed two people on motorbikes observing him in locations around his home.Activist deaths high in Latin America"Global Witness, a British NGO, says Honduras is one of the world's most dangerous countries for environmental activists."<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LatinAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LatinAmerica</a> accounted for 85% of all the world's environmentalists who were killed last year, with 18 deaths registered in Honduras, according to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GlobalWitness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalWitness</a>.

DoomsdaysCWAmnesty International: Five Ways Our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RightToProtest</a> is Being Threatened Around the Worldby James Duggan, October 5, 2022"All around the world, right now, peaceful protestors are being imprisoned, threatened, and face physical violence from authorities. Even at home, in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a>, our right to stand up and speak out against injustice is being taken away. Now more than ever, it’s essential we continue to fight for our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a>."The right to protest is a fundamental human right. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Article20" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Article20</a> of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniversalDeclarationOfHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UniversalDeclarationOfHumanRights</a> states that everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. The right to protest is a way for people to defend their human rights and the rights of others when they’re threatened by governments and authorities."Here are five places where the right to protest is currently at threat: 1. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a>"Right here in Australia, governments and authorities are adopting an increasingly punitive attitude towards protestors. In 2020, peaceful protestors at a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackLivesMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackLivesMatter</a> rally in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Sydney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sydney</a> were met with excessive and unnecessary force from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewSouthWales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewSouthWales</a> Police. Police used pepper spray and chased student protestors on horseback at the University of New South Wales, and pushed them to the ground. Both protestors and bystanders were injured in the process."The following year, in November 2021, a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateActivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateActivist</a> was sentenced to 12 months in jail after he climbed atop a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/coal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coal</a> train and stayed on it for five hours to protest Australia’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a> policies. Twenty-eight other people belonging to the same activist group were also arrested in NSW that month."In 2022, the NSW Government announced that disrupting any bridge or tunnel in Greater Sydney as part of a protest would result in individual fines of $22,000. This is a ten-fold increase from the previous penalty of $2,200. The NSW Government also plans to introduce legislation which would mean this $22,000 fine would also apply to protestors disrupting roads and public transport facilities. 2. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HongKong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HongKong</a>"In June 2020, a new law came into effect in Hong Kong, referred to as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalSecurityLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalSecurityLaw</a> (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NSL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NSL</a>). What “national security” refers to in this law isn’t well defined, and the NSL has been applied arbitrarily at the discretion of the government and authorities to suppress <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dissent</a> and political opposition."In September 2021, a human rights lawyer named <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChowHangTung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChowHangTung</a> was arrested under this law and charged with 'inciting subversion.' She faces up to ten years in prison for peacefully commemorating the 1989 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tiananmen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tiananmen</a> Square protest crackdown. During the 1989 crackdown, an undisclosed number of people, anywhere from hundreds to thousands, were killed by authorities for gathering to protest the government’s censorship laws. At least three other activists were arrested along with Chow Hang-tung in relation to the peaceful memorial of these victims. 3. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cambodia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cambodia</a>"In May 2021, three young activists belonging to a Cambodian environmental campaign group called <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MotherNatureCambodia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MotherNatureCambodia</a> were convicted to between 18 and 20 months in prison. They were arrested after they announced a plan to undertake a two-person march to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cambodian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cambodian</a> prime minister’s house in order to express their concerns regarding plans to privatise and develop the largest remaining <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lake</a> in the country’s capital city. They were charged with 'incitement to commit a felony or disturb social order.'"Mother Nature Cambodia have won several major <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmental</a> victories in Cambodia. In 2016, their efforts to expose widespread environmental destruction and human rights abuses linked to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mining</a> and export of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sand</a> from coastal areas of Cambodia resulted in a total export ban on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CoastalSand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoastalSand</a> from the country. As a result, the group have been targeted with harassment and repression from the Cambodian government. Multiple other activists have been charged with 'incitement,' and the group has been accused of 'causing chaos in society' and labelled 'illegal' because they’re not registered under the country’s restrictive NGO Law. 4. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a>"The right to protest in Russia has been severely compromised since 2004, when the Federal Law on Assemblies, Rallies, Demonstrations, Marches and Pickets was passed. The Law on Assemblies restricts who’s allowed to organise a protest and where the protest is allowed to be held, and subjects planned protests to a strict authorisation process that often results in permission being denied."Since 2004, legislation has been tightened numerous times. Most recently, the Russian government introduced new, heavy penalties for anyone who protests Russia’s invasion of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a>. Less than three weeks after the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, almost 15,000 peaceful protestors had been arrested. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RussianAuthorities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RussianAuthorities</a> have arrested bystanders of protests and even children. Police have used excessive force against peaceful protestors, including women, subjecting them to beatings and electrocution with stun guns. 5. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#India</a>"In India, draconian laws such as 'the crime of sedition' have been repeatedly used against peaceful protestors, journalists and human rights defenders. The slow investigative processes and strict bail conditions under these laws mean that activists and others who speak out against injustice in their country may spend many years behind bars while their trial is ongoing."In 2021, a 22-year-old <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalActivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalActivist</a> named <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DishaRavi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DishaRavi</a> was charged with '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sedition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sedition</a>' for sharing an online Google document that was originally tweeted by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GretaThunberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GretaThunberg</a>. The document was a basic 'toolkit' for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#farmers</a> in India who were then in the midst of protests against the Indian government over newly introduced agricultural legislation. The 'toolkit' included information on the protests and how to support the movement, both in person and online. Disha is a leader of India’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FridaysForFuture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FridaysForFuture</a> movement, an international student environmentalist movement instigated by Greta Thunberg.
