Amnesty comments on solitary confinement in Iceland amid report confusion

A recent report mistakenly stated that Amnesty International released a report concerning Iceland’s election to the United Nations Human Rights Council. The accurate information is that the Icelandic branch of Amnesty submitted comments to the Human Rights Committee, which is a separate entity within the U.N. and distinct from the Human Rights Council. The submission criticized the use of solitary confinement in Iceland. Apologies have been issued for the misinformation.
