Don't look now @RishiSunak & @trussliz - some more truths just in:

The #RightsRemovalBill will let the Government decide who does and doesn't get rights and will take rights away from migrants.

But the public says... 77% say everyone in the UK ...
@RishiSunak @trussliz The Human Rights Act forces public authorities - like Gov and police - to respect your rights.

This duty forced the second inquest into the Hillsborough disaster that finally got to the truth.

The #RightsRemovalBill will let public bodies ignore your rights.

The public says... 77% say public authorities ...
The Human Rights Act empowers you to challenge abuse of your rights in British courts.

The #RightsRemovalBill makes it much harder to get your case off the ground, hiding those in power from accountability for their actions.

The public says... 76% say people must be able...
The #RightsRemovalBill is a hangover from the Johnson Government that will put people in harm's way.

The public says NO.

The next PM could simply ditch this plan.

More than 120,000 people have signed the petition to #SaveYourRights. Add your name today action.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/page/100020/pe…

BREAKING 

Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman made anti-protest laws she had no power to create 

 So we’re in court today to #DefendDemocracy A photograph of the Liberty team at the Royal Courts of Justice this morning with banners and placards that say "Defend Democracy"
Last summer Suella Braverman changed the definition of “serious disruption” to mean “more than minor” – giving police almost unlimited powers to shut down protests

She had no power to do this

Parliament had rejected it when Gov tried to insert it into the Public Order Bill
No matter where we’re from, our backgrounds, or who we vote for, most of us want our elected leaders to work within the law and not abuse their powers

Our parliamentary democracy exists to make sure a government can’t just do whatever it wants

It must be respected

VICTORY

The Government is changing spy laws to protect freedom of the press after Liberty’s legal challenge a still graphic of the word "BREAKING" in large white text on a plain green background
Following our 7-year legal challenge supported by @NUJofficial, Gov's agreed to bring in new safeguards to protect journalists from having confidential material - eg communications with sources - easily accessed by state bodies
libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/governme…
Currently, the Investigatory Powers Act allows bodies like MI5 and MI6 to search for and keep confidential journalistic material from data they collect when bulk hacking devices – without independent authorisation

A clear threat to our free press

🎂Happy Birthday to the European Convention on Human Rights🎂

The ECHR came into force 70 years ago today

And it's been making the UK a better place ever since

libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/5-ways-t…
1⃣THE ECHR PUTS YOUR BASIC RIGHTS INTO LAW

The ECHR was drafted in the aftermath of the Second World War

For the first time, it declared everyone’s rights and freedoms which must be respected and protected by the State

All the rights we’re familiar with come from the ECHR
2⃣THE ECHR PROTECTS EVERYONE IN THE UK

Article 1 says States that sign it pledge to respect the rights of "everyone within their jurisdiction"

This means the ECHR protects every single person in the UK

Not just a privileged few. Not just British citizens. Everyone

BREAKING: The Gov's Bill of Rights has been *officially* scrapped

Good riddance

Raab's #RightsRemovalBill would have ripped up our Human Rights Act, put people in harm’s way and hid the powerful from accountability
We all want to live in an equal, just and fair society, where governments and public bodies act in our best interests

For more than 20 years our Human Rights Act has empowered everyone in the UK to stand up to people in power when our rights are abused
From the families of Hillsborough victims and military veterans to disabled people and survivors of violence against women and girls

We all want to feel safe in our communities - but police 'use of force' stats show safety is often not a reality for Black people

Figures show people 'perceived as Black' are at greater risk of harm

Racism runs through British policing
gov.uk/government/sta…
Dehumanising police tactics don’t keep us safe

They subject people to traumatic and distressing experiences, leaving a lasting impact on individuals and communities
We see the police use force against those experiencing mental health crises

And in too many cases this use of force is fatal
