JHR Night for Rights 2014
-
Local law allows minister to ban newspaper. This is how it is hard to work in media. One NP was banned for 3 wks. #Night4Rightsby Michael Chen via twitter 9/26/2014 1:18:29 AM -

"What can I assure you is that my country needs JRH," says Awami. "This small organization is making so much change in my country." -
Emotional and powerful speech from Awami. He steps off the stage as the live auction takes over.
-
"Tonight is about what you can give," says the lovely auctioneer Linda Leja.

Auctionista Linda Leja is talking faster than anyone else I've met. The crowd is having fun bidding on an internet-connected tablet used by JHR journalists.

Live auction starts with two highest bidders winning the tablet at $250 a piece.
