Citizen journalism & Human Rights in North-East India

September 28, 20158 CommentsCase StudiesBy wp-admin

Project Name: Citizen journalism & Human Rights in North-East India Promoted by WACC

Initiated by: World Association for Christian Communication (WACC)

The World Association for Christian Communication (WACC), an international organization that promotes communication as a Manipur freedombasic human right, essential to people’s dignity and community. WACC works with all those denied the right to communicate because of status, identity, or gender. It advocates full access to information and communication, and promotes open and diverse media. WACC strengthens networks of communicators to advance peace, understanding and justice.

Knowing the essence of citizen journalism in India, WACC used internet as a medium to spread awareness programmes in north east India. The organization also used local newspapers in Manipur to spread awareness on human rights. Manipur newspapers have used their websites and created groups to harness the potential of the internet to further their cause. Websites such as Manipuronline.com, E-Pao.net (‘pao’ stands for mail in Manipuri), Kanglaonline.com and TheSangaiExpress.com started to post material provided by citizens on a range of issues, including insurgency and counter-insurgency in the state as well as protest against the Armed Forces Special Power Act.

Through online reporting and networking, local human rights workers were able to link up with similar groups in other parts of India to raise awareness about the law and to organize protests. These local newspaper have timely published the protest from Manipuri poet, Irom Sharmila Chanu, who demanded the repeal of the law. Irom Sharmila’s efforts have been closely reported and commented upon by citizens in blogs and on the different Manipur-based websites listed above. Another website closely tracking the campaign is ManipurFreedom.org, which includes links to several blogs, background papers on the law, reports by various agencies, and a newsletter.

    Additionally, land-based casinos provide a sense of community and real-time interaction that many players
    find appealing. On the other hand, land-based casinos offer a unique social experience and a
    genuine vibe that online alternatives may lack. Following these steps allows new players to quickly and easily
    start their online casino adventure. The popularity of e-wallets among
    Australian players continues to grow, thanks to
    their ability to provide a seamless and secure online gambling experience.
    E-wallets have become a popular payment option for
    online casino players in Australia due to their convenience and security.

    The quick deposit process is a significant advantage,
    enabling players to jump into their favorite games almost instantly.

    If you opted for a welcome bonus, check your bonus balance in your account.
    If you are using cryptocurrency, make sure
    you send the exact amount to the casino’s wallet address to avoid transaction delays.
    Create a secure password and accept the casino’s terms and conditions.
    Click “Play Now” and you’ll be redirected to the casino.

    Another popular e-wallet, Neteller provides fast, hassle-free transactions, allowing
    you to deposit and withdraw easily. Others let you play instantly without
    any signup at all.
    Usually, this bonus is a deposit match and some additional casino free spins
    for slot games. In our experience, these platforms offer the best combination of game variety, bonuses,
    and security. We suggest starting your journey by exploring our
    carefully curated list of Australian online casinos.
