Law Professor and activist on behalf of human rights law & international women's rights Karima Bennoune was interviewed by My9 News last on the demonstrations and growing demands for democracy in the Mideast.
Karima has recently returned from Algiers, and says, "When I was at the protests in Algiers, people talked about what had happened in Egypt. They said, yesterday Egypt; today, Algiers."
Here's the video:
Karima's work has placed her in harm's way in countries from Afghanistan to Thailand. On March 3, she'll accept the 2011 Chancellors Distinguished Faculty Award and discuss the struggle waged within Muslim majority societies and populations against fundamentalism. The program is free and open to the public. More information on the event is available on the Rutgers-Newark events calendar
