PRI ON MUKHTARAN MAI…
June 17th, 2005
Driving to the ODOT meeting yesterday I listened to a 10-minute interview with Pakistani gang-rape victim Mukhataran Mai. Today, via BuzzMachine, I learned of Tom Watson’s blogger charge at My Dirty Life And Times to force her government to return her passport and allow her to travel freely.
According to Watson, there were reports yesterday that Mukhtaran had been set free. His his update today says those reports were false and that Amnesty International is now involved.
In the Old World, the victors wrote the history books. In the New World it is impossible to control the history books because they’re being written online. Even bad people care about their place in History and blogger pressure does make a difference.
