Survival International suffers cyber-attack

Survival International came under cyber-attack from thousands of computers yesterday evening, so that for now this temporary page replaces their usual website.

A week earlier Survival International had drawn attention to a shocking video of Indonesian soldiers torturing Papuan people.  They had also called for a tourist boycott of Botswana to protest about the treatment of Kalahari Bushmen. Survival International points the finger for the cyber-attack to the Indonesian or Botwanan authorities, who have denied it, or to their allies.

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.
