Amnesty International Releases New Ferguson Report Documenting Human Rights Abuses
"Following the initial protests in Ferguson, Missouri sparked by the
shooting death of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown, Amnesty
International USA dispatched a human rights delegation which included
observers to monitor the protests and police response. Today, the human
rights organization has released a new report, On the Streets of America: Human Rights Abuses in Ferguson,
documenting the human rights concerns witnessed first-hand by Amnesty
International while in Ferguson from August 14-22, 2014. The report also
outlines a series of recommendations that need to be implemented with
regards to the use of force by law enforcement officers and the policing
of protests."
