UN Watch/Freedom House Joint Report on Repressive Regimes Running for Election to the UN Human Rights Council

The message from UN Watch:
UN Watch was at U.N. headquarters in New York yesterday to release a joint report with Freedom House opposing repressive regimes running for election to the U.N. Human Rights Council. The luncheon briefing was co-organized by both human rights groups, and attended by diplomats, reporters and human rights activists. UN Watch also brought human rights victims and dissidents from Cuba and Saudi Arabia to personally testify about the gross violations committed by some of the worst abusers who are seeking re-election next week. Click here for new report. The following article on our report was published today in Canada's National Post, Ottawa Citizen, Vanouver Sun, Edmonton Journal, and Calgary Herald.
