US placed on rights watchlist over its civil society's health

The United States has been placed on a watchlist for urgent concern over the state of its civic society by the international non-profit Civicus.

The organization highlighted "sustained attacks on civic freedoms" as the reason for this designation.

The US now shares this dubious distinction with countries like Turkey, Serbia, El Salvador, Indonesia, and Kenya.
