We're getting excited about our commemoration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as it turns 70 and we need YOU, the good people of West Cork to make it happen. Come along at 2.30 on Sunday 9th December for songs, speeches and mince pies! #UDHR70 #Standup4humanrights

I call on @ICEGov to immediately halt the deportation of Pastor Steven Tendo, who is set to be deported today. Pastor Steven is a Ugandan asylum seeker who fled torture & risks being killed if he is returned. #FreePastorSteven now!

Thanks a million @SouthernStarIRL for including this great writeup of our recent event to commemorate 70 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

We reviewed the state of human rights in 2018 and one thing's clear: Women activists have been at the forefront of the battle for human rights. 💪🏾👏🏿🕯️📢✊🏽 https://t.co/uw173m9bhq

Great news that Cork man Sean Binder and three other humanitarian NGO workers are out of jail, but disgraceful that they still face a range of serious charges which have no basis. Those charges must be dropped.

[Amnesty Ireland @AmnestyIreland]

We welcome news that Sean Binder & Sara Mardini have been released on bail, but smuggling charges against the humanitarian workers must be dropped. This case is the latest example of how authorities are mis-using anti-smuggling laws to target activists https://t.co/iYa6Wr9VmB

Hi West Cork human rights fans! We know you all can't wait for the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights so just a quick reminder to come along to our celebration at 2.30pm on Sunday 9th December in Emmet Square, Clon. (Psst, there will be mince pies!)

This syrian kid just seen the war of a lifetime in his home land but yet seeks education and this bully thinks he can give him a harder time.

Far right .. this what you are teaching your kids to do to other kids.

Congratulations Oyub Titiev, one of #Russia's bravest human rights defenders, who was today awarded a prestigious prize for his work.

Russian authorities may have jailed Oyub, but they cannot silence him - https://t.co/QA8azYqmYF
