Montha Chukaew, 54,

and Pranee Boonrat, 50,

were shot and killed on Nov. 19, 2012,

while on their way to a market.

 

They were members

of the Southern Peasants’ Federation of Thailand,

which fights for the Khlong Sai Pattana community’s

right to agricultural land.

 

Their bodies were found mutilated.

Slavery, murder & suicide in Thailand's fishing industry

Video    Guardian Animations    22 September 2014

 

In Kyra Bartley's animation based on interviews carried out

as part of that investigation into slavery in the supermarket shrimp supply chain,

a Burmese man describes how enslaved workers often take their own lives

to escape a world where the slightest blunder or act of dissension

can result in barbaric violence and murder.

If It Were My Home

 

The headlines tell a lot

about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife,

evacuations

of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

 

But you may have

one very basic question

that you can't easily find

an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

 

You can look at maps

and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

 

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
