Underlying the economic crisis is an explosive human rights crisis. The crisis is about shortages of food, jobs, clean water, land and housing.

Amnesty International's 2009 Annual Report reveals that the worldwide recession is leading to greater repression amid rising threats to security and justice.

Some key findings of the report include:

* Skyrocketing food prices led to more hunger and disease while some governments used food as a political weapon;
* Marginalized and indigenous communities were denied basic rights for a decent life;
* Hundreds of thousands of people were forcibly uprooted in the name of economic development

    Most managers have plenty of emotional commitment to give to their jobs. If they can be convinced it’s safe and sensible to give it.

  • You talk of Georgia and Russia... I just met someone who came to USA 8 yrs ago for asylum & she is still waiting & has not seen her children for 8 yrs! They just arrested her cousin for trying to save a cat from her burning apartment & I have videos of me trying to help her get her cousin out of jail but bail bond man would not take her $250 bail money when finally released & told us to come back next shift (over an hour later) while he was counting his cash for the night!

  • Not suprisingly, mainstream U.S. corporate media covers only about 5% of these stories.

  • Human Rights and the Economy go hand in hand.
