Human Rights Watch is warning against rising authoritarianism and growing pressure on democracy around world.
The watchdog’s annual report says there were rights abuses in more than 100 countries last year. It warns that the US, China and Russia are undermining the rules-based international order and long-standing rights protections. The group says autocracy is more prevalent than at any time since the mid-1980s. Human Rights Watch also points to widespread abuses in Sudan, Iran, Ukraine and Gaza. And it says conditions for migrants are worsening in Germany, where hate speech is on the rise.
