In 2010, Burma held its first elections in 20 years. As part of its campaign to help free Burma's 2,100 political prisoners, Human Rights Watch created a giant installation at New York's Grand Central Station. Consisting of hundreds of prison cells, a closer look reveals that the cells bars are actually pens. Visitors could remove the pens to symbolically free the prisoners and then use the pen to sign a petition calling for the release of these innocent prisoners.

  • fuck What is this irritating sound there .. :l

  • This is stupidity .. rave is not a real religion, it is one of the myths of human beings

    Let the truth religion of Islam ...

  • these type of stuff are useless: there are no pacific ways to free people in dictatorial countries.If you move war to Birmania (myanamar) you will be accused of violence, if you send letters through UN , etc. nothing will never happen. NorthCorea raises foreign currencies through casino located on the borders, close to CHina: whatever you do , without guns, dictators will not run away. My subjective opinion is this is the human being.

  • just... WOW

    Siam Commercial Bank (Thai Panich Bank) is not human right.

    Please look at titaninthailand.webs.com or madeinthailand.forumco.com

    In Thailand nobody help me and almost my messages and comments get deleted.

  • Powerful, engaging and memorable.

  • In an age of charity fatigue, this is a brilliant and inspiring solution to creating awareness of human rights violation in Burma. Also a model for those looking to create meaningful social media campaigns that call for interactive participation.. Well done to all concerned.

  • Love It!
