Stop the crackdown in Guinea: sign here

See this petition from Avaaz against the crackdown in Guinea.  The petition is to  leaders of the African and European Unions.  Avaaz is pressing for travel sanctions against the ruling elite of the west African country of Guinea; they love to fly and shop!  The military in Conakry, capital of Guinea, gunned down civilians who were protesting peacefully for democracy.  More than 150 were killed and women were stripped and raped.

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.
