Summary: The last decade, and especially 2009 and 2010, have been particularly hard for civil society and human rights defenders. Negative global trends that began soon after 9/11 have come to a head as governments have continued to encroach on fundamental freedoms through harsh security measures and other legal and policy restrictions. CIVICUS has put together a synthesis report highlighting these trends, entitled ‘Civil Society: The Clampdown is Real – Global Trends 2009-2010’.
