Dear friends,
In this week’s update, we look at a
groundbreaking live
YouTube debate on the failed global war on drugs. Millions of viewers
voted to end the war, but in reality we have a long way to go. As a
new report reveals, police in Indonesia are still torturing people who
are suspected of using illegal drugs.
We also look at what advocates can do to
bring change to health care. In India,
Dr. Raj is leading the fight to bring pain relief to millions of patients
with terminal illness. In Kyrgyzstan,
civil society groups have gone to court to demand access to government
financial data on health care services.
Thank you for reading and please join the
conversation on our Facebook page, Twitter,
and blog.
