Yaacov Lozowick's Ruminations: Alison Des Forges, Fighter for Human Rights

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

This obituary for Alison Des Forges shows what a real human rights activist does, in the parts of the world that really need them.

Anonymous said...: "Whereas other human-rights activists fuss about an ever-lengthening list of socio-economic “rights” (subsidised housing, fair trade, and so forth), Mrs Des Forges stuck to the basics, such as the right not to be murdered."
Amen.

It is really sad, that she died so early...; February 25, 2009 at 4:14 PM
