Autoritäre Praktiken weltweit

In the organizer's words:

How we defend human rights

Authoritarian practices - from the restriction of civil society freedoms to the criminalization of minorities and the suppression of critical voices - are no longer a local danger, but a global threat. Be it the defamation of NGOs or so-called anti-NGO laws, disproportionate violence against activists, repression against women, LGBTIQ+ people, migrants, the increase in state surveillance or disinformation campaigns. Authoritarian practices often follow the same patterns, but their impact on the ground is often different.

Amnesty International's Annual General Meeting will take place in Munich over the Whitsun weekend. Together with the directors of Amnesty International Ghana, Hannah Osei, and the Czech Republic, Lucie Laštíková, and the director of Amnesty International Nigeria, Isa Sanusi, we will discuss strategies and patterns of authoritarian practices and how they are spreading worldwide, but also the different conditions on the ground and what strategies of resistance are needed to prevent a further slide into a dystopian future.
