date. we don't know. the way it i mean you know w somewherere f transmissions others with a no so there's a lot at stake so that's why we said. let's make this clinic bear full net in mysterious way i'm- entire based okay- to consider sampling and economic. all sides writer i want to you should write many governments have the states of the- have imposed. a core few locked in are you can about the rule of law that some governments some leaders might use the pandemic- to crack down on dissent on the opposition. their number of- instances where there is strong suspicion that this s is indeed happeningg. well yes i meaean. s you know the international human rights law open meets the restriction of the freedom in cacases like the pandemic or at natural disasters eccentric. but we're talking mainly on freedom of mobobility for them also ask somebody but in no way

is it accepts andnd to usee this as an excuse to restrict their freedom of expression and the freedom of the press or the freedom off- of. being the book the sececret of being critical f that meantnthe c company's not doining what they're supposed to do i w wld have seen that wewe have seeeen in some p places. ty are possibile sandals to restrict that that the freedom of speechh isn't too couldld be fine u us f fake news anybody ad that has a lot of a bad punishment- a fine. or the they also have. a ten day leading. at. or you want to find. i some of the they have passed so a degree. now through parliament all through. the judicial systemem to.o. check in. . the r that they press the has this for in the militaryy. so when we strict certain human rights because of a need like an actual call sort of pandemic like this one. it has to be

first of all it has to be appear to be. you have three portion it to the need and he has to have a time b bomb it can be f forever. so many plalaces e have seen that some governments are e used. att the- extreme rit even. dururing this next phase f the possibibility of civil society to express. on and therere are. also attending. generate and the thing that the plan of and the senate. right i'm to get to a new of. in related so to the condemning these of a sense we know are some countries that have been slapped. sanctions against like iran or- venice well off in this time of- pandemic you think sanctions are the right answer just from a human rights peperspective. nono we'll t thik thatat's the right answer on on the twenty fourth of march with the added. a public statement on that we got a call on all member states who have-

central's over any country that could limit that recipe to respond to the kind that make. you s sick or too late to lift that order to suspend that- and- and we also have been with the us. on thisis regardthe said. list and they said that according to the rurules.. sanctitions from. heyy know what they is that a call l the they said me of course the trash. a state that what it says it's written that. that you should not be applied for a medical equipmenent for humanitarian reasasons for medical devices boxing except.t. and t they say that that isn't ovever compliance. of banks and- fog companies but the cool thing is that a local bodies exist. so you onlnly that that would be te resolve they won't have all l te possibilities those countries. they're all there because peoplele won't't sell thehem ths equipments all t these other because they don't have the- enough incomes t to provide them so. i think that centrist
