The shadowy and poorly regulated global trade of #teargas is fuelling police human rights violations against peaceful #protesters on a global scale. Amnesty International have launched a new resource analyzing the misuse of the riot control agent around the world.
Tear Gas: An investigation is Amnesty International’s interactive, multimedia site looking into what tear gas is, how it is used and documenting scores of cases of its misuse by security forces worldwide, often resulting in severe injuries or death.
The site is especially relevant today. It comes on the anniversary of the #HongKong Police Force beginning its months-long barrage of tear gas against peaceful demonstrations – which has recently been renewed – and as police forces in dozens of cities around the #USA have been bombarding protesters with tear gas.
