Yes, I did, I financed them. And now I have an urge to do it again...

To commemorate International Women’s Day, Amnesty will be holding an online chat with Agaba Bisengo, a 24-year old survivor of the Rwandan genocide.

Since the Rwandan genocide, Agaba has lived most of her life as a refugee. As a result, she has dedicated her life to the preservation of human rights: 

“My country, Rwanda, has already banned beating women. That is a start. I have overcome my past and have hope for all women who continue to struggle to attain their goals.”

Agaba will share her personal experiences and impressions on the status of refugee women and women's rights in Rwanda and the United States.

Join us tomorrow, March 8th, from 1:00 – 2:00 pm EDT.
Ask a question in advance »

We look forward to your participation.

Best Regards,

ANKARA (Reuters) - A Turkish court dropped a controversial case against best-selling author Orhan Pamuk for insulting Turkish identity after the justice ministry said it had no authority to try him, CNN Turk TV said on Sunday.
 
Ruling on a case that has been condemned by the European Union, the justice ministry told Istanbul's Sisli court it had had no authority under the revised penal code to pursue the trial.
 

Well...

I actually didn't think I could, and yet I'm updating regularly my Multilingual blog.
I'm quite proud of it, even though up until now I have only copied some press releases. The kind of news you would like to spread all over the world, but you can't.
Today it's a French spot of a reportage about Kurdish women rebels, yesterday it was from Amnesty, and in English.
I invite you to keep an eye on it, it might be much more interesting than this one.
