Selected groups of defenders at risk: journalists and media workers, defenders working on land and environment issues; and youth and student defenders 2012, para. 117 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | The Special Rapporteur is very concerned at the extraordinary risks that these groups of defenders face due to their work in defence of human rights.

The Special Rapporteur is also extremely concerned at reports received indicating that State actors, including Government officials, State security forces and the judiciary, are the perpetrators of many of the violations committed against these defenders. | Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders | Special Procedures' report |
