International Human Rights Day

On today it is International Human Rights Day as organised by Amnesty International. It is also on this day that we are reminded that every person on this planet has human rights. The UN Declaration of Human Rights can be found here:

What many people do not immediately realise is that in many countries all over the world many people are denied their basic human rights. It is absolutely disgusting. For example, Iran has a reputation as a country with a poor human rights record. For more news about Human Rights Abuses follow this link:
