The supplied ARTICLE 19 page, titled “When bodies become data: Biometric technologies and free expression,” is dated April 2021 and contains the exact sentence verbatim under “Recommendations” → “A total ban on biometric mass surveillance.” The page does not show an individual byline, so attribution to ARTICLE 19 as an organisation is appropriate. The stored quote text, month-level date (2021-04), author, and source URL all match the source.

The source URL redirects to an ARTICLE 19 page where the recommendation continues with “both offline and online”; ARTICLE 19’s official 2021 PDF also uses different wording, beginning “ban the use of biometric technologies for the indiscriminate and untargeted processing...”. So the statement is attributable to ARTICLE 19 in substance, but the quote as supplied is not verbatim.
