"The Trump administration's rising authoritarianism and increasing violence pose serious risks to all, particularly minority groups who are vulnerable to serious harm."
"The coalition, which includes the American Civil Liberties Union, has called on Fifa to put pressure on US authorities to respect the fundamental human rights of every person visiting and attending the games."
"The rights groups warn travellers about what they say is the potential for denial of entry to the country and risk of arrest, travel restrictions on citizens from dozens of countries, social media screening, racial profiling, and increased surveillance."
Over 120 organizations have issued a travel advisory for the World Cup, citing risks from the Trump administration's immigration policies. They highlight the vulnerability of minority groups and criticize Fifa's ties to Trump. The advisory warns of potential entry denial, arrests, and increased surveillance. Fifa claims commitment to human rights but faces pressure to ensure safety for all attendees. Recommendations for travelers include removing sensitive information from devices and keeping contacts informed about their travel plans.
