Sierra Leone activists urge national law to protect human rights defenders
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, in line with international human rights standards promoted by bodies such as the International Service for Human Rights.
Why now: The UN Human Rights Council session has given Sierra Leonean civil society a platform to press their government for legal protections.
