Video Blogging for Human Rights




Now, normally this isn't something I'd sign on with, but Global Voices Online is hosting a video log of human rights abuses. Some shot with cell phones, others with home video cameras. I think it's a splendid idea. This is a different side of "development;" it's not so much worrying about capacity building as it is stopping monstrosities, and any outlet to raise awareness of these abuses I feel is worthwhile. This one, from a smuggled DVD, shows police cracking down on a peaceful union protest in Zimbabwe"
