RDU Audio: Amnesty to target net repression
Chat rooms monitored. Blogs deleted. Websites blocked. Search engines restricted. People imprisoned for simply posting and sharing information. The Internet is a new frontier in the struggle for human rights. Governments – with the help of some of the biggest IT companies in the world – are cracking down on freedom of expression. Amnesty International, with the support of The Observer, is launching a campaign to show that online or offline the human voice and human rights are impossible to repress.


RDU Audio: Wammo from RDU mornings spoke to Gary Reece from Amnesty International New Zealand.
Tune into RDU Mornings with Wammo 6am till 10am weekdays RDU 98.5fm (Christchurch)
