Before the @StatesAssembly decide on assisted dying, should they not first resolve the question of whether suicide itself should be decriminalised? It is currently illegal in Jersey to commit suicide. Presumably attempted suicide is also illegal? @JEPnews @JennBridge

If young people were treated like this there would be a public outcry.

Some serious questions need to be answered about the arrest without charge of @DeputyMacon. Why did it take so long to decide whether to press charges? How did his identity become public? Justice delayed is justice denied. #InnocentTillProvenGuilty @TheVoiceJersey

It is “not true” that Jersey cannot take 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 asylum seekers without being forced to take 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴, says Jersey human right lawyer @clairedethan

Where there’s a will…

It would be good if Jersey could do its fair share, as a wealthy island. @BBCJersey #JerseyCI

A peaceful rally showing solidarity with Palestine was held in the Royal Square today. Here is the speech of @SamMezecJsy https://t.co/navaXmCOJG #JerseyCI

@The_Rt_Hon_ @DeputyTadier @LibertyBusje @ecoactivejersey @VisitJerseyCI @loveheritage @deputyrobward Agreed. It’s great news. Every little helps.

[Jersey Human Rights @JER_HumanRights]

Great work @DeputyTadier @LibertyBusje!

Article 13 of #UNDHR

“Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state.” This will certainly help with free movement, especially for those on a tight budget!

Are Jersey’s Courts making it up as they go along? These are the 4 areas of concern from a Human Rights and natural justice point of view.

The media would do well to investigate these points thoroughly, but it may involve challenging power. @TheVoiceJersey @dasgezirpe

⚠️Almost ALL young women in the UK have been sexually harassed⚠️

Why is no one talking about this in Jersey today?

Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes the right to adequate housing. Yet Jersey still lacks basic protections for its citizens. Well done @deputyrobward for taking action where government has failed. #HumanRights #JerseyCI

Democracy is a fundamental human right. When any politician tries to tamper with that or diminish it in anyway, it is a very serious matter. It is even more worrying when it is the island’s leader @BBCJersey @bailiwickxpress @Channel103 @TheVoiceJersey @JEPnews

[Steve Pallett @pallett_steve]

It’s disappointing that Senator Farnham brought this proposition as it’s an attempt , and a poor one to block any movement towards voter equity .Why are we scared to accept better democracy by approving this undemocratic proposition .The minority should not control the majority

It is a shame @StatesAssembly did not learn a lesson from @CityofTrentonNJ and adopt our equivalent of Juneteenth @SimonCrowcroft @BLMjerseyCI @Blklivesmatter @ukblm

A proposal has been submitted by a Senior #JerseyCi Politician @DeputyTadier to get the ball rolling on the establishment of a Human Rights and Equality Commission.

Professor Claire de Than wrote earlier this year also promoting this idea @clairedethan https://t.co/cyilrlJWvo

@DeputyTadier @GaryBurgessCI @ArtHouseJersey @loveheritage Who is calling this vandalism? It should be called an act of resistance.
The big question is why public money was secretly used in 2014 to erect a statue to one of Jersey’s worst ever Bailiffs. Maybe the media can start asking the real questions. @TheVoiceJersey @Kit_Ashton

How about everyone just stops with the labels and accepts that sexuality is a spectrum and who the hell cares? Bisexuality doesn’t mean 50/50 🙄
