All people are born free and equal in dignity and rights, and on Human Rights Day, we celebrate and thank the people who work hard & sacrifice to stand up for others and protect the world’s most vulnerable. https://t.co/m70s9OTIjM
Scholars at Risk focuses on protecting the rights of persecuted #academics. I was delighted to join my colleagues and welcome representatives from @ScholarsAtRisk to Ottawa to hear more about the work of this terrific organization and their pursuit of worldwide academic #freedom.
Sunny view of Parliament on my run this morning - looking forward to a day of Scholars at Risk Canada programme-building talks with MPs, Senators, @ScholarsAtRisk and our super-motivated @SAR_Canada team.
Seventy years ago today, world leaders came together to sign the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and enshrine it in international law.
On this #HumanRightsDay , let us re-commit to working towards a just society where #HumanRights are universal, inalienable & indivisible.
The fight for freedom of expression continues. It must never be silenced.
We will continue to demand truth & justice for Jamal Khashoggi & other journalists.
What a great #HumanRightDay it was, working with @ScholarsAtRisk & @SAR_Canada colleagues and sharing our vision for a national program with parliamentarians! Special thanks to @gary_srp for hosting us.

Today on #HumanRightsDay we are reminded of the importance of fighting for fundamental rights.
Over the next few weeks, witness testimonies will begin for the five ICTS13 attendees. No other case of individuals being charged under the NCPO ban on assembly has progressed this far
We are a group of Carleton Students advocating for the release of Dr. Abbas Edalat who is arbitrarily imprisoned in Iran because of his scholarly work. Help us raise awareness!!! @OttawaCitizen@JimWatsonOttawa
#AbbasEdalat has been detained since April. He’s a professor of computer science and mathematics at @imperialcollege in the #UK and, yes, like several other wrongfully imprisoned scholars in #Iran, he’s a dual national.
