ASIA: Weekly Roundup, Episode 31

Today,AHRC TV releases the 31st Episode of the Human Rights Asia WeeklyRoundup.

In this episode, we bring you a panel discussion between three human rights activists, from India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, on the causes of systemic and barbaric violence that occurs with impunity in Asia on a daily basis.

Gruesome stories of gang rape, custodial deathfollowing torture, and public stoning in the name of ‘honour’ have continued toemerge from South Asia.

AHRC’s Basil Fernando, Bijo Francis, and BaseerNaweed discuss how broken and corrupt law enforcement systems fuel the constant violence experienced by the poor and vulnerable.

The bulletin can be watched online at AHRC YouTube (http://youtu.be/gxPyqEl4zNU).We welcome both human rights feeds to be considered for weekly news bulletin and your suggestions to improve our news channel.
