YOU(TH) FOR YOU(TH)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We all have the right to share information and demand a better world. We also have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions in peaceful protests. 

These rights are central to living in an open and fair society. These rights are also protected in the South African Constitution. Section 17 guarantees everyone’s right to peaceful assembly, to demonstrate, to picket, and to present petitions.

South Africa is no stranger to protest action, it has been a common way in which people express their disappointment in a lack of service delivery, the high crime rate, and gender-based violence to name a few. 

Amnesty International supports people who speak out peacefully for themselves and for others – whether a journalist reporting on violence by security forces, a community expressing their frustration at the lack of service delivery, a trade unionist exposing poor working conditions, or an indigenous leader defending their land rights against big businesses.

Do you think protest action is an effective way of seeking change? In this edition of YOU(th) for YOU(th), we ask our activists what they think. Let us know what you think by leaving your thoughts on the topic on our message board in the newsletter.

We also look at how our activists and supporters stood outside the Russian Embassy in Pretoria, in solidarity with those the Russian government is trying to silence. 

We look at the state of press freedom and freedom of expression in South Africa and give a shout-out to partners who participated in a march against climate change. 

Finally, our team undertook a mission to disaster-stricken KwaZulu-Natal to see for ourselves how the floods and adverse weather have affected people’s lives and what the government is doing to ensure that everyone still has access to their basic rights such as water and housing. 

Let us not be afraid to speak out and demand that everyone is treated fairly and with dignity.

We hope you enjoy this edition of Amnesty International South Africa’s youth newsletter and we look forward to engaging with you.

If you have ideas of what you would like to read about, please send us an email with your suggestions to youth@amnesty.org.za.

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1650979362419{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #ededed !important;}”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4161″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1653911289326{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”]

Amnesty International South Africa, along with Campaign for Free Expression, Committee to Protect Journalists, Media Monitoring Africa, and the South African National Editors’ Forum made a joint submission to the UN Universal Periodic Review (UPR) focusing on South Africa’s compliance with international human rights obligations related to freedom of opinion and expression.

The UPR is a review of the human rights records of all UN member states held every four years. Our submission also looks at progress made since the last UPR review in 2017.

South Africa is facing several threats to freedom of expression with at least 59 separate incidents where journalists were subjected to physical or verbal attacks and harassment. These include attacks on journalists by police, political parties, and the public; online threats targeting journalists such as  hate speech, harassment, and doxxing; the surveillance of journalists by state intelligence; overly punitive legislation that targets journalists or limits their ability to report; and the ongoing vulnerability of senior journalists at the public broadcaster.

All of these are restricting the right to free expression in the country and have the potential to limit the right of the public to access information in the public interest.

These issues must be properly addressed by the state in order to prevent a weakening of free expression in the country.

END THE CRACKDOWN ON ANTI-WAR PROTESTERS 

[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1650978551928{padding-top: 30px !important;background-color: #000000 !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

On May 6, Amnesty International South Africa’s activists held a peaceful demonstration outside the Russian Embassy in Pretoria, in solidarity with the 15,000 people who have been arrested in Russia for protesting against the invasion of Ukraine.

Their right to freedom of peaceful assembly and expression has been violated by Russian authorities.

Hundreds of administrative and over 30 criminal cases have been initiated against peaceful protesters and dissenting voices under the newly introduced legislation which prohibits “disseminating false information” about and “discrediting” the Russian armed forces.

The protest was also aimed at calling for an end to the invasion of Ukraine.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and an act of aggression that is a crime under international law.

KWAZULU-NATAL FLOODS

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1643611128861{padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #000000 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”txt-white”]

In May, a team from Amnesty International South Africa visited KwaZulu-Natal after the area was heavily affected by floods. Our marketing trainee, Dorothy Rowland, recounts the field trip:

As we visited the worst affected areas, it was evident from the onset that people had been stripped of their rights to dignity, sanitation and safety. We walked to where the toilets are; water levels had risen and blocked entry ways and other toilets had been completely dismantled by the floods. This is a reality the residents have had to live with for over a month with little to no intervention from the government. I vividly recall walking through Mega Village, an informal settlement which is situated near a river in Umlazi, and stopped after stepping on three square feet of tiles and realised what I was standing on what was once someone’s house. We then met Thandi*, who came back to Mega Village to collect some of her belongings that were left behind after the floods. She told us:

“We have been staying in an overcrowded community hall which also gets flooded. Some of us have chronic diseases and we’ve had to spend nine days without getting medication. Other people are even afraid to take their medication because people will know about their sickness. Some officials came to take our names and nothing happened after that. We have also heard that the funds have been released to help us but we don’t know what happened to them. So, I have nothing to ask from the government because they [don’t] help us with anything”

 Interviews we conducted with affected people became a unified voice to the government demanding accountability, transparency, and an overdue and effective response to the floods. As young people, we are solutions oriented which is why we join Amnesty International South Africa in calling on the government to be transparent about the funds allocated towards the destruction – where these are allocated to, and how they are spent. 

*Names changed to protect identity.

Climate Reality Project Demonstration

In recognition of Africa Day, the African Climate Reality Project (ACRP) lead a protest outside the African Development Bank (AfDB) in Centurion, under the hashtag #TheAfricaWeWant.

In mid-2021, the AfDB requested ACRP to organise a COP26 side event and develop a position statement, in collaboration with African civil society organisations, on the Bank’s role in financing a just transition in Africa. On 4 November 2021, the African Development Bank abruptly cancelled the COP26 side event at the last minute. To date, the Bank has not provided any legitimate explanations for the cancellation of the event. For these reasons and others, we withdrew from our role as a representative on the AfDB’s civil society committee in January 2022.

What was the protest about?

The protest followed up on the demands listed in the position statement and emphasized the need for greater transparency and collaboration between CSOs and Development Finance Institutions to tackle the environmental and social injustices caused by the ongoing climate emergency; which can be only achieved once meaningful and transparent channels are opened by the AfDB.

TAKE ACTION

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5942″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

In the 2020/2021 financial year, there were 2,655 reported cases of women killed and 36,330 reported cases of rape in South Africa. This is equivalent to one woman being killed every three hours, and almost 100 incidents of reported rape committed daily.

The DNA backlog of 58,000 cases is stalling thousands of these GBV cases and delaying justice for victims and survivors.

The Minister for Police publicly committed to clearing the backlog by September 2022.

Join us to demand transparency with communication and information about the backlog, including providing a progress update in June about how many cases have been cleared. #InterruptBrokenPromises
