Following the September 11 attacks in the United States, many governments attempted to pass laws under the pretext of ensuring security and combating terrorism, which have worsened the human rights situation globally. Amnesty International, based in London, stated in its annual report released yesterday that the enactment of repressive laws in many countries has led to increased violations of human rights, while the role of the military has expanded and cultural and religious restrictions have intensified. The organization noted that democratic countries have played a leading role in restricting civil rights. The report indicated that in 47 countries, executions have occurred without court orders, in 35 countries government opponents have disappeared, torture has been reported in 111 countries, and at least in 56 countries, individuals have been imprisoned due to their beliefs.
