The body of Patrick Karegeya, the former head of Rwanda’s military intelligence and a critic of President Paul Kagame, was recently found in a hotel room in Johannesburg. Loyola University's Brian Endless believes this could be a politically motivated assassination. He tells us why. Then, 'Channel C' is a YouTube show hosted by a group of Chinese international students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in hopes of bridging the cultural divide between Chinese and American students. We meet two of the 'Channel C' hosts. Plus, last month the U.S. Senate passed Resolution 75, a resolution “condemning the Government of Iran’s state-sponsored persecution of its Bahá’í minority and its continued violation of the International Covenants on Human Rights." We discuss the Senate measure and the situation of Iran's Bahá’í with Glen Fullmer, director of the Bahá’í Office of Communications in Chicago.
