Witness makes the truth visible. Dozens of new videotapes reach the Witness office each month. With these tapes, Witness opens the world's eyes to human rights violations and helps bring justice. A camera in the rights hands at the right time at the right place can be more powerful than tanks and guns. Let truth do the fighting.
Information is power and with the right technology, truth can travel across any border.
By capturing the human rights stories of today, the Witness program challenges governments and can help prevent future abuses from occurring. With Witness, communication between us will not be stopped. Our connection to each other will be even stronger. It really made us part of the international community for the first time. Prior to the receipt of my video camcorder from you, we had relied solely on written documentation of human rights abuse by internal security forces in Nigeria.
