Campaigning for human rights in the age of the internet

Happy birthday to Survival International

Survival International, "the movement for tribal peoples", celebrates its 40th birthday this month.

One piece of news on Survival International's website is that Vedanta Resources has launched an unprecedented attack on the organisation.  There is a film narrated by Joanna Lumley on the conflict between Vedanta and the traditional life of the Dongria Kondh people in Orissa, eastern India. 

Update, Feb. 2010: See Amnesty's web page, Vedanta mine threatens indigenous communities.

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
