YouTubeing Human Rights Violations

As I was saying, YouTube can be a great way to share video of human rights abuses among all the dreck of cats on treadmills. I wanted to highlight one specific example that Ramy Raoof shared as part of his project to gather video of abuses in Egypt's recent, deeply flawed elections. A crowd, including elderly women, are irate as they are turned away from a polling place: Not everyone can witness abuses firsthand, but the word can get out virally thanks to new media technologies.
