On a side note, I find it odd that this list does not include Syria in the top 10. How reputable is a list that doesn't include Bashar and the Syrian goverment?
How many more protestors does Bashar have to kill before he makes the list? Right now he's somewhere between 9000 to 11000....
Or maybe being murdered by your own government isn't classified as a civil rights abuse?
