Tara Petrovic, an author of the report by CIVICUS Monitor, highlighted that solidarity protests for Palestine are facing repression globally. This shows a worrying trend for civic freedoms.
CIVICUS Monitor's report indicates that nearly one-tenth of protests suppressed worldwide are related to Israel's conflict with Hamas, reflecting increasing tensions affecting civic spaces.
The recent conflict resulted in massive protests globally, with demonstrators demanding an end to the violence. Yet many faced suppression from authorities, raising concerns for civic engagement.
Countries previously viewed as having open civic spaces, like the Netherlands and Australia, have seen a crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests, indicating a shift in global civil liberties.
