Every host city committee including Los Angeles is supposed to release a “human rights action plan” ahead of the games. Those plans should outline how the host city is planning to protect freedom of expression and handle security and workers’ rights.
But those plans have not yet been finalized and made public, less than five month out. That has some critics ringing an alarm.
" It’s a very poor report card on turning in your homework for Los Angeles and all other host cities," said Minky Worden with Human Rights Watch.
