    UK: Suspend Deportations of Tamils to Sri Lanka
    UK Director of Human Rights Watch, David Mepham, published a short article by in the Independent on the continuous problematic deportation of Tamils. Again, the UK government has deported a group of Tamils to Sri Lanka, despite vast documentation provided by Human Rights Watch and other organisations on the country’s record of ill-treatment of the minority Tamil community. Human Rights Watch has acquired a growing body of evidence that the failed Sri Lankan asylum seekers face serious risks of torture upon return in their home country.

  • Run for Rights – Royal Parks Half Marathon
    To support our runners, please visit their fundraising pages here
    On Sunday 7th October, 15 Human Rights Watch runners took part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon. Running through four of London’s glorious Royal Parks and passing some of the capital’s most historic landmarks, the team raised over £18,000 towards protecting human rights around the world. In close support were the wonderfully vocal cheering group who spurred on the runners through the half-way point, providing that extra push towards the finish line. We’d like to thank everyone involved for what was an incredibly successful and delightfully sunny day in the Royal Parks.
