ZambiaMay 1, 2026Zambia: Summit on Human Rights, Technology Effectively CanceledRights & FreedomsModerate − · -33/3 agree
(Johannesburg) – The Zambian government’s decision to postpone RightsCon 2026, effectively canceling the summit, raises concerns about the authorities’ commitment to free expression and assembly and about possible Chinese government interference, Human Rights Watch said today. The 14th edition of RightsCon was scheduled to be held in Lusaka, Zambia’s capital, from May 5 to 8, 2026.
In an April 29 statement, the Zambian government said that the postponement was “necessitated by the need for comprehensive disclosure […] relating to key thematic issues proposed for discussion during the Summit.” The technology and science minister had earlier said that the postponement was to allow for “pending administrative and security clearances” of some speakers. As a result, the RightsCon organizers, Access Now, announced on April 29 that “we do not recommend registered participants travel to Lusaka for RightsCon.”
“The Zambia government’s flimsy reasons for postponing RightsCon suggest that the government wanted to control the summit’s human rights agenda,” said Idriss Ali Nassah, senior Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch. “The authorities sh
The Zambian government's effective cancellation of RightsCon 2026 through a last-minute postponement citing vague security clearances constitutes a de jure/de facto restriction on the right of assembly and association for civil society actors, with HRW flagging concerns about free expression and possible foreign interference in the decision.

NepalMay 1, 2026Nepal: Balen Government Should Bring Human Rights ReformsRule of LawModerate − · -33/3 agree
(Geneva) – Nepal’s recently elected Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) government, led by Prime Minister Balendra Shah, which came to power on a wave of popular demands for change, should use this opportunity to bring lasting protections for human rights and the rule of law, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and the International Commission of Jurists said in a letter to Shah published today.
The organizations made recommendations on 13 areas of human rights, including the transitional justice process, women and girl’s rights, the rights of Dalits and other minorities, the rights of migrant workers, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or intersex (LGBTI) rights, the right to housing, and freedom of expression and association. Some of the new government’s early actions—including the forced eviction of landless people from informal settlements and a proposed ordinance that would dilute the independence of the constitutional council in appointing judges and commissioners to constitutional bodies—appear to violate housing rights and due process protections and show an alarming disregard for procedure and the rule of law, the organization
