USA: Respect the right to peaceful demonstration in wake of Ferguson decision | Amnesty International
"There cannot be a repeat of the abuses that occurred during the
policing of protests in August. The right to peaceful demonstration is a
human right that must be protected vigilantly. Officers are duty-bound
to respect and facilitate that right, not impede it," said Steven W.
Hawkins, Amnesty International USA Executive Director
Amnesty International has called for law enforcement to protect the
rights of those who peacefully protest the grand jury's decision.
