A Personal Tribute to Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela: Happy 92nd Birthday

nelson_mandela_586.jpg
I was not yet born when Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was sentenced to life imprisonment. I did not hear his name during my early childhood growing up under the apartheid regime. I was not sure why he was imprisoned in that tiny cell on Robben Island. And I did not know then, that one day, he would unequivocally be my hero. While I have not had the honor of meeting Nelson Mandela, he has been a powerful and real part of my life journey over the past 20 years. I am profoundly humbled by his capacity to forgive and deeply motivated by his spirit and strength.

Gaza: Halt Executions

April 15 2010 - The Hamas authorities in Gaza should immediately halt the use of the death penalty, Human Rights Watch said today. A firing squad executed Mohammed Ismail, 37, and Nasser abu Freih, 34, this morning, following their convictions for collaboration with Israel. These executions, the first use of a judicial death penalty by Hamas authorities since they took over Gaza in 2007, followed military court trials that raise serious concerns of fair trial violations, Human Rights Watch said.
