A Global Initiative to Liberate Political Prisoners

Freedom House expands its efforts to aid political prisoners and combat the use of imprisonment as a tool of authoritarianism.

"Authoritarian governments have grown increasingly sophisticated in their attempts to silence dissent and even mere criticism,” said Michael J. Abramowitz, president of Freedom House. “Increasingly, autocratic regimes are dispensing with the façade of democracy—from sham elections to kangaroo courts—and are pursuing more repressive policies, including openly imprisoning human rights defenders, prodemocracy activists, and journalists.”

This is a very good series on Netflix. I think it is very relevant to the things that get discussed on this board, and definitely more entertaining. Maybe some of you know how to find it for free, but to me it is worth one month of Netflix.

Netflix’s ‘Messiah‘ explores the need of people to believe in something, at a time when they cannot trust anything. The show, then, not only makes us question these beliefs but more importantly, why one chooses to believe, by weaving together multi-layered narratives from across borders and faith. This is precisely what makes the series both refreshing and reflective of our troubled times, as it builds a compelling narrative filled with several distinct voices. It is also how ‘Messiah’ manages to become an unusually gripping suspense thriller, one that neither requires a solid villain, nor violence, but instead makes use of the power of an idea, and how destructive that can be.
