Eroding personal freedoms, political oppression, and what some say is an overall decline in democracy. These are all currently taking place in the region, but what is the state of human rights in Asia? That conversation is taking place in Asia… now.
March 25, 2015
Asia is home to 4.3 billion people or roughly 60% of the world’s population. It’s also home to cruel dictatorships like North Korea; China, who performs more executions than the world combined, and other nations that seem to have a revolving door on leaders, but what is the state of human rights in the region?
Phil Robertson, deputy director of Human Rights Watch’s Asia division joins the podcast to tackle that issue.
