The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is 70 years old today: #HumanRightsDay

Watch our humanist Board members #StandUp4HumanRights We stand for #humanrights for everyone, everywhere. #UDHR70
The humanist movement has always supported #humanrights. Just last week at the European Parliament we were promoting our work on freedom of thought, religion or belief and freedom of expression (for which articles 18 & 19 of the UDHR absolutely vital!) See iheu.org/meps-welcome-f…
For this #HumanRightsDay please consider a donation to our appeal for Humanist At Risk: gofundme.com/at-risk We are so close to finishing and your donation could get us over the line.

We submit the following questions to the candidates standing for election at the Human Rights Council as part of the online #HRCpledging event hosted by @amnesty & @ISHRglobal
Saudi Arabia (1/2): Many peaceful citizens, incl. #RaifBadawi #AshrafFayadh & #AhmadAlShamri, languish in prison for the ‘crime’ of exercising their basic human right to free expression. If elected, will KSR end its zero-tolerance policy towards dissent or criticism? #HRCpledging
Saudi Arabia (2/2): KSA has arbitrarily detained and persecuted many women for advocating reforms to the male guardianship system. Will KSA demonstrate a true commitment to human rights by pledging to release these activists & investigate allegations of their torture?#HRCpledging

The behavior described in this article is serious and completely reprehensible, and warrants a full investigation by the police or relevant authorities.
Thread: 1/12
While the disgusting behaviour described in this article does not remove a person's basic right to asylum, it does affect whether we are willing to work on his case.
2/12
To date, we have released a statement of concern, written to the RAB regarding the current situation for FoRB in Tunisia and signposted Amari to groups that may provide well-being support. We will not be taking any further action.

Did you know that you can be sentenced to death for 'apostasy' in at least 10 countries in the world today? Image
Read more about the right to apostasy in the world here: humanists.international/get-involved/r…
In many other countries apostates face social stigma or are actively discriminated against or persecuted by the state, even when there are no official laws stating that ‘apostasy’ is illegal.
