One Year After the Disappearance of 43 Mexican Students, Their Mothers Are Still Demanding Answers

10/06/2015 – 01:21
From Democracy Now (English)

More than one year after the disappearance of 43 students from the Aytozinapa rural teachers’ college in Guerrero, Mexico, the case is still shrouded in mystery. On September 26, tens of thousands of people marched to mark the first anniversary and to demand answers in the case. New information in the case now suggests that not only were the local police involved in attacking the students in Iguala on September 26, 2014, but that the federal police and Mexican military may have been involved as well.

For more on the case, we’re joined by Hilda Legideño Vargas, the mother of Jorge Antonio Tizapa Legideño, and Hilda Hernández Rivera, the mother of César Manuel González Hernández. Both of their sons went missing during the attack by local police one year ago. The two women traveled to the United States from Mexico to attend Pope Francis’ World Meeting of Families. We spoke to them in New York about the Mexican government’s failure to fully investigate their sons’ disappearances, the secret government surveillance program that their sons were under, and where the women believe their sons are now.

Over the course of four years, filmmaker Avi Lewis and journalist Naomi Klein traveled to nine countries on five continents to profile communities on the front lines of the climate justice movement. The result is the epic documentary “This Changes Everything,” inspired by Klein’s best-selling book of the same name. The film just opened in New York City at the IFC Center. In this web-only special, Lewis and Klein talk about the climate justice movement, the fossil fuel divestment movement, the “Shock Doctrine,” and more.

Video: Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald & David Miranda Call for Global Privacy Treaty

10/02/2015 – 01:56
From Democracy Now (English)

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald, Brazilian privacy activist David Miranda and others have launched a new campaign to establish global privacy standards. The proposed International Treaty on the Right to Privacy, Protection Against Improper Surveillance and Protection of Whistleblowers would require states to ban mass data collection and implement public oversight of national security programs. The treaty would also require states to offer asylum to whistleblowers. It is being dubbed the “Snowden Treaty.” At a launch event last week, Edward Snowden spoke about the need for the treaty via teleconference from Russia. “This is not a problem exclusive to the United States or the National Security Agency or the FBI or the Department of Justice or any agency of government anywhere. This is a global problem that affects all of us,” Snowden said.
