This is a gloves-off, no-holds barred, knock ‘em down chili cook-off. You fall on the “ja” side of the heated chili with beans philosophical schism? This ain’t no ICS* rule-stickling event. Put ‘em in! You think carrots or red beet are the secret ingredient that will clinch you the 2016 Amnesty International Chilipalloza title? Then pile ‘em on, we won’t laugh.

Our health has been damaged seriously by the contamination caused by Texaco. Many people in our community now have red stains on their skin and others have been vomiting and fainting. Some little children have died because their parents did not know they should not drink the river water.

An opportunity for all Munich citizens to join us in Odeonsplatz to support free and fair elections in Zimbabwe, or alternatively by sending us a message on Twitter.
We set up a real-time monitoring of the election process in Zimbabwe in order to promote fair elections and eventually report of human rights violations. This is combined with the intention of fostering the Harare-Munich partnership and therefore inform the Munich citizens about this initiative and the partnership more in general. The event took place in the form of a real-time monitoring using a several meters tall LED-tower where displayed the messages (mostly from Twitter, social media, news agencies and personal reports from people in Zimbabwe).
Since 2009 Amnesty International has documented the alarming pattern of abuses against irregular migrants in transit through Mexico, particularly Central Americans, attempting to cross Mexico in order to reach the border with the US.

The report demonstrated the particular vulnerability of migrants, especially women and children, to abuse and their lack of access to justice, remedy or protection.
