Human Rights Day is celebrated annually across the world on 10 December every year.The day is normally marked both by high-level political conferences and meetings and by cultural events and exhibitions dealing with human rights issues. After reading every case about these human rights defenders,
I wrote five postcards to express my support.
It is over one year have passed since Xulhaz Mannan and his friend are brutally murdered by extremists.Although there are clear evidence and witnesses,the police still haven't investigated and brought the murderers to justice.The failure to hold anyone accountable for Xulhaz's murder has created a climate of fear among human rights defenders.They are not able to express themselves freely,live their own life in the way they wish to.
People who dedicated their own lives to defending the human rights of journalists and activists in Turkey are in danger.
Government should stop persecution of these rights defenders,they were just doing their job.
Natural resources on the world are at risk,
everyone should protect it.Without people like the Indigenous people standing up,land all over the world would rapidly decreasing.They are so brave to confront with smear-campaigns,death threats and physical assault to keep the environment from being violated.
Mahadine is a father of seven kids.He was sent into prison after posting videos online criticizing the government.He was beaten and starved of food and water these days.His health is getting worse,he needs to receive treatment without delay.I hope to urge the government to release him immediately and send him to the hospital.
When her brother,Nakiea,was gunned down by police,Shakelia took on a sluggish court system to lead a bold fight for justice for his murder.In response,the police have repeatedly raided and harassed her community.Police killings of mainly young and mostly poor men is all too common in Jamaica.It is time to end this scourge.The justice must prevail without delay.
