I signed the petition for Uganda and the petition for nigeria - but I have no hope that it helps in any kind ... the comments from all over the world are very nice - but thats not enough. What we need is a working help to escape from this countrys.
The worth of online-petitions you can see if you look on the anti-death-penalty-petitions against US-laws : It helps NOTHING ..
The knowledge of crimes against humans rights makes no sense if nobody helps real. Actually we have a lot of country with death penalty for homosexual people... followed by a bunch of country with lifelong detention. In Iran they kill 14 - 16 year old boys....
And the world says nothing .... that reminds me at the Ship "
St. Louis", where 930 jews escaped from Nazi-Germany in 1939.... and all countrys did not let them ashore, they had to go back to Nazi-Germany and many of them died in concentration camps ( it was much easier after WW2 to tell that nobody knows whats going on in nazi-germany... )
What we need are secure places for victims of persecution... like the underground-railroad for slaves in the US before the civil war in the USA...
If someone needs help ... I can offer 2 places at my own home.... I think that is the only way that helps real
