In person training in London 2023

In February 2023, PHRP held a four-day training for 14 Amnesty colleagues who work on policing-related issues in South Asia.

We mainly focussed on the following countries: Afghanistan, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. A wide variety of topics were addressed, including the use of force and firearms by police, the policing of assemblies, the use of different less lethal weapons, torture, arrest and detention, and discrimination. The training further focussed on how to effectively address policing-related problems and develop meaningful recommendations to authorities. The diverse country situations and variety of issues that participants were working on, provided for a wide array of case studies to discuss and a rich exchange of experiences.
