Legalize Prostitution & the Sex Trade! - Amnesty International

Order: Reorder
Duration: 6:00
Updated: 12 Aug 2015

Amnesty International approved a plan that supports the decriminalization of the sex trade on Tuesday. The organization argues that decriminalization is the best way to defend sex workers' human rights despite criticism from women's rights groups and Hollywood stars, including Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson, who say it is the equivalent of backing the legalization of pimping, prostitution, and brothel owning. We look at the controversial policy on the Lip News with Jo Ankier and Nik Zecevic. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/08/11/us-rights-amnesty-sex-work-idUSKCN0QG1XA20150811 Newest Lip News playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDRtAQtCAYI&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGcjJDo6cQBCQprDMQyUQY3r&index;=1 BUZZSAW interview clips - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA1IbcsMQBQ&index;=1&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGeWhHPas6M9sKUhThquDNOc CRIME TIME clips playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1jlJ0JaL90&index;=1&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGeC9DbpSnIvd2i9BHh2dBvv BYOD (Bring Your Own Doc) Highlight Videos- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agLCEIc3NTk&index;=1&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGeu2DCf6Ouo7hTsA5QB2MAL MEDIA MAYHEM short videos playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0_Rjqy9zqY&index;=1&list;=PLjk3H0GXhhGcz4un-zws5sMlCLk3NNjDP https://www.facebook.com/thelip.tv http://www.youtube.com/theliptv

Stars on their shoulders, blood on their hands... Nigerian military war crimes

Order: Reorder

The Nigerian military, including senior military commanders, must be investigated for participating in, sanctioning or failing to prevent the deaths of more than 8,000 people murdered, starved, suffocated, and tortured to death, according to a comprehensive report by Amnesty International. Based on years of research and analysis of evidence - including leaked military reports and correspondence, as well as interviews with more than 400 victims, eyewitnesses and senior members of the Nigerian security forces - the organization outlines a range of war crimes and possible crimes against humanity committed by the Nigerian military in the course of the fight against Boko Haram in the north-east of the country...

Black Friday

Order: Reorder
Duration: 14:59
Updated: 29 Jul 2015

The 1st August 2014 saw the darkest day in the Gaza Conflict of 2014 - Black Friday. This is the story of what happened that day - which saw the highest number of Palestinian civilians lose their lives under a massive bombardment by the Israeli military - told in most extraordinary detail in a joint investigation by Amnesty International and the Forensic Architecture department of Goldsmiths, University of London. Using a 3D model of Rafah and hundreds of stills, video footage, testimonies this collaboration shows that there is strong evidence that the Israelis committed war crimes and possible crimes against humanity: something they have always denied. It is the story of the kidnapping of a soldier, a secret military order and the extraordinary price paid by Palestinian civilians for a single Israeli life. The video references research released in the Amnesty International report of the same name. https://blackfriday.amnesty.org/
