Ethan Nadelmann is the executive director of the largest drug policy reform organization in the U.S., the Drug Policy Alliance (www.drugpolicy.org ). Earlier he was a professor at the Princeton University. We interviewed him at the International Harm Reduction Conference, Warsaw, 2007.
"No country for civil society - What strategies can human rights organizations follow under increasingly authoritarian regimes?" is the title of the international conference organized by INCLO on 30 May that, thanks to HCLU, you can follow live online.
Lawyers from HCLU are defending a number of young activists who have recently been charged for occupying the headquarters of the governing party, FIDESZ and for blocking traffic around the Hungarian Parliament. The response by the police to the demonstrations was meant to instill fear and to scare people away from similar acts in the future.
The HCLU produced 140 online videos in 2011. Each year we make a picture illustrated interactive portfolio which explains our activities and briefly introduces the films. We proudly present the 2011 issue. Enjoy and share!
