Slovakia Today, English Language Current Affairs Programme from Slovak Radio

Amnesty International is the world’s largest human rights movement, bringing together more than 10 million people across over 150 countries and territories to defend human rights and human dignity for everyone. Ahead of Amnesty International Day, observed worldwide on 28 May, we spoke with Rado Sloboda, director of Amnesty International Slovakia, about the state of human rights in Slovakia and around the world. In the interview, we discuss the growing pressure on civil society, freedom of expression and the media, discrimination against minorities, the rights of Roma and LGBTQ+ communities, as well as Amnesty’s campaigns and educational activities.
