The Amnesty International Tweet

At paragraph 30 of his interlocutory witness statement dated 20 June 2023, the Defendant states: “Amnesty International and other human rights groups have expressed direct concern over the disappearances of so many journalists, activists and politicians”. In support of this assertion, the Defendant refers to a Tweet dated 15 June 2023. However, this does not, in fact refer to disappearances of journalists, or to concerns about the same.

Mr Harding advanced no submissions to either explain or defend this inconsistency.
