Armrests against kidnapping

A high tech bracelet can help human rights activists and relief workers reduce the risk of kidnapping or murder in dangerous areas.

The smart ring is a product of the Civil Rights Protection Foundation (CRD). Thanks to the combination of mobile technology and global positioning technology, it can broadcast alarm messages when the wearer encounters a dangerous situation, the BBC reported.

Aid workers can press the alarm button on the ring if they feel they are facing a threat or the ring will trigger a warning if it is removed. Send information in the form of a message about the employer, including where and when the person was attacked. Other employees will also receive alerts on their phones.

Alert messages are sent as a prepared message to social networks Facebook and Twitter to call for support. This ensures that other people will find the clue or clue of the wearer.

CRD wants people to subscribe to the ring of human rights defenders on social networks. They hope that the participation of people around the world will help hamper the attack on human rights defenders. Followers may also put pressure on governments to detect or free those who have been kidnapped or imprisoned.

'If there is a chance, most of us want to help others when they are in danger. Human rights defenders are risking their lives to give them the right to vote, freedom of speech or religion for others, "said Robert Hardh, CRD director.

CRD began research on the device after Natalia Estemirova, a human rights defender in Chechnya, was kidnapped and murdered in 2009. CRD will make about 55 bracelets. from now until the end of 2014.
