Human Rights Day: It could be you
December 9th, 2008Today reminds us to remember those who rot in jails without a fair trial, due process, being tortured, maltreated and malnourished. For what?
Expressing a thought, an opinion, a belief.
How we treat each other is a reflection of the world around us, a manifestation of a sickness that expresses itself in the near constant drama of war and crisis.
That’s why human rights abuses are the thin end of a very big wedge. It’s a good time to read through the UN Declaration and spend a few minutes thinking about what it means to us as individuals.
And then please sign up as a member of Amnesty International wherever you live.
