Divisive political rhetoric a danger to the world, Amnesty says

Human rights group, Amnesty International says politicians who have used a divisive and dehumanized rhetoric are creating a more divided and dangerous world.

Its annual report singles out President Donald Trump as an example of an "angrier and more divisive politics".
 
But it criticizes other leaders, including those of Turkey, Hungary and the Philippines, whom it says have used narratives of fear, blame and division.
 
The group also says governments are exploiting refugees for political ends. 

The report, which covers 159 countries, cited a rise in hate speech across the US and Europe targeting refugees adding the reverberations would see more attacks on people on the basis of race, gender, nationality and religion.
