Celebrating Human Rights Day 2021

F T M

Environmental and land rights groups, indigenous communities, and other civil society organisations gathered to celebrate International Human Rights Day in 11 provinces and the capital between the 5th and 10th December 2021.

Despite ongoing intimidation and restrictions from authorities, more than 2,400 people joined together in public forums, discussions, marches and religious ceremonies to call on the government to respect human rights and address long-standing land grabbing cases, as well as to release and drop all charges against imprisoned human rights defenders.
