2019 was a deeply troubling year for human rights in the Americas, as Amnesty International demonstrates today in its regional annual report. Protesters in Venezuela, Honduras, Haiti and Chile suffered brutal state repression, while Latin America was once again the world’s most lethal region for human rights defenders. Gender-based violence remained widespread and environmental degradation continued to rise, with the White House formally seeking to withdraw from the Paris climate pact and Brazilian government failures exacerbating the destruction of the Amazon.
