We call on the government to:
Respect the universally recognized rights, duties and obligations of everyone and organizations
to highlight information about Human Rights violations and injustices to the public, as is stated
in the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders;
Ensure that all persons affected by torture and other human rights violations, including the
right to complain which must be respected at all times, receive justice.
