Human Rights Watch Executive Director Talks about Power Consolidation and the Prison Population During the COVID-19 Crisis

from The Business of Giving · host Denver Frederick

We hear news of lockdowns and nationwide quarantine all over the world. Governments enforce rules with an iron fist to ensure everyone's safety from the menacing and highly infectious COVID 19. But how much power does a democratic government need for it to still fall under the folds of democracy? Ken Roth, our guest for today, is the Executive Director of the Human Rights Watch. He's here to tell us the different methods other countries are doing to combat the virus and whether they are true to the democracy they are supposed to uphold. He gives his opinion on how much force the government should use in this time of crisis and how much liberty the average American should exercise for the public good.   Ken Roth believes that we will overcome this as a nation, but he maintains that everyone should be watchful of the freedom we all fought so hard for. Hear more about human rights and what you can do to preserve them during these challenging times in this interview with Denver Frederick.
