ALT Graphic highlighting the criminalization of Wet’suwet’en Indigenous land defenders in Canada, as part of a campaign by the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders ahead of an upcoming report. At the top, the report’s title "Out of Sight" appears in blue, followed by the subtitle "Human rights defenders working in isolated, remote & rural contexts." The main message, "LAND DEFENDERS LABELLED CRIMINALS," is written in bold white letters on an orange background. On the left side, a black-and-white illustration depicts three Indigenous land rights defenders: one woman wearing a fur-lined hood, another one raising her fist in defiance, and a man wearing handcuffs. Below, the text explains that Wet’suwet’en Indigenous rights defenders have resisted a pipeline on their unceded land for years. In 2020, Canadian armed police conducted raids on their camps, forcibly removing and jailing them. Since then, dozens of peaceful land defenders have been detained and charged with criminal contempt

ALT A graphic highlights the story of Quinto Inuma Alvarado, an Indigenous Kichwa environmental defender from Peru. At the top, the title "Out of Sight" appears in blue, followed by the subtitle "Human rights defenders working in isolated, remote & rural contexts." The main message, "KILLED DEFENDING THE AMAZON," is written in bold white letters on an orange background, with a location pin icon next to "Peru." On the left side, a black-and-white illustration of Quinto Inuma Alvarado in traditional Kichwa attire is shown. Below, the text explains that he was murdered in 2023 after decades of fighting against illegal logging and drug trafficking in the Amazon. His killers ambushed him while he travelled by boat to his remote community. The visual is part of a social media campaign by the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders ahead of an upcoming report to the Human Rights Council.
