Sierra Leonean rights defenders urge national protection law at UN
Original: HRC63: Sierra Leonean human rights defenders call for national legislation to strengthen their protection
At the 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Sierra Leonean human rights defenders are calling on their government to adopt national legislation that would strengthen legal protection for their work. They argue a dedicated law would shield activists from harassment and enable them to operate freely. The appeal was raised through the International Service for Human Rights.
Why now: The Human Rights Council session gives defenders a high-profile platform to press their government for legal protections.
