Stronger Laws Are Needed to Combat Violent Hate Crimes in the United States.  At a June 5th U.S. government-sponsored human rights panel discussion in Switzerland, Wade Henderson, president/CEO of the Leadership Conference for Civil Rights, said much stronger and effective hate crime laws are immediately needed in the US.  Henderson stated in the U.S. "the number of hate crimes reported has consistently ranged around 7,500 or more annually - that's nearly one every hour of every day."  The number of hate crimes "committed against Hispanics and those perceived to be immigrants has increased each of the past four years for which FBI data is available."  He added that violence "because of... sexual orientation has increased to its highest level in five years." http://www.civilrights.org/
