UN Slams US Security Forces for Violent Crackdown on Anti-Racism Protestors
in Portland

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - The U.N. Human Rights Office is criticizing the reported use
   of unnecessary and excessive use of force by U.S. federal and local
   security officers against peaceful protestors in Portland and other
   U.S. cities.

   U.N. human rights officials are expressing concern about the U.S.
   security forces cracking down on anti-racism protests in the U.S. city
   of Portland.

   They say people have a right to protest peacefully and should not be
   subjected to unnecessary, disproportionate and discriminatory use of
   force.
