Human Rights Watch issues major report warning about threats to democracy and human rights

Human Rights Watch released its annual global report, which includes a sharp warning about the state of democracy and human rights. The report specifically criticizes President Donald Trump, saying his actions and rhetoric pose a 'generational challenge' to human rights and represent a threat to democratic institutions.

Separately, two senior researchers at Human Rights Watch resigned. They left after the organization decided not to publish a report they had written that was critical of Israel's policies regarding Palestinian refugees.
