Cracks in authoritarian regimes offer hope in a dark year, says Human Rights Watch
No Comments

Cracks in the armour of authoritarian states in the past year should give the world hope that brutal regimes can be called to account, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW) in its annual analysis of the state of human rights globally. The world report 2023 from HRW chronicles the litany of human rights crises that affected millions of people in the past 12 months, most dramatically in Afghanistan, where the Taliban have “walked back women’s rights continuously since they took over” and in China, where the mass detention of an estimated one million Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims, stands out for its “gravity, scale and cruelty”.
