YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe most dangerous and deadly sector of human rights defense involves land, environmental and indigenous rights, according to a report by Front Line Defenders.
The Irish-based human rights organization, which supports those who struggle to protect their communities, said that 304 people across 31 countries were targeted and killed last year.
Almost half of those murdered worked defending environmental and indigenous rights.
Front Line Defenders said this was due to "the profit-driven exploitation of natural resources, combined with corruption, weak governments, and poverty".
