Question

Explain two human rights violations which result from the eviction of people during the lockdown

Answer 1

Answer:

The two human rights that are getting violated during lockdown is the Right to freedom of expression and Right to Public Assembly.

Governments have an obligation under international human rights law to protect the right to freedom of expression, including the right to receive every form of information.

During the lockdown, there are allowable limits on freedom of speech for public health purposes, so that people do not put themselves at risk.

According to the right to public assembly, people have the right to meet their friends and family and also to work together. However, in the lockdown situation, meeting people is restricted as it can cause community infection spreading.
