Michael Posner said: "No less than 25 governments in the last couple of years have imposed new restrictions on nongovernmental, human rights, and other organizations -- the right to organize, the right to assemble, the right to gather and collect funds from abroad,"

Michael Posner said: “already poor human right situation rapidly deteriorated after the June elections,”
