Human Rights Watch Daily Brief, 12 April 2016 [View all]
Boko Haram wage war on education in Nigeria; US under fire on Yemen conflict; Saudi's women driving ban; refugee crisis; good news from Burma; Algeria jails activist for Facebook post; remembering Congo's Abbe Benoit; rocking LGBT rights in US; & child labor in gold supply chain...Who's to blame when bombs kill civilians? The US, and other countries which arm the Saudi-led coalition as it wages war in Yemen, are coming under increasing scrutiny for their alleged role in civilian deaths.
