This Connect your Rights! policy issue paper from the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) outlines the state of human rights online and the major challenges facing activists and human rights defenders. As levels of censorship and surveillance are increasing worldwide, even in democratic countries, which threatens the work - and the lives - of human rights defenders, APC calls for the theme of the 2012 IGF to focus exclusively on human rights.
