If you haven’t seen it already, Rightsinfo has finally launched – and it is beautiful and gorgeous and I am very jealous. Visit it, pass it on. Huge credit to @adamwagner1 and chums for putting this together. I am sure it will be a really useful resource for all sorts of people – anyone who is open to finding out truth behind the press spin about human rights really.
Follow the project on twitter : [edited : @rights_info] or visit the site at rightsinfo.org – start with the guided tour here, and look at the cases about families here.
What Adam says “Human rights are basic rights which everyone has. The right to life, to free speech, to a family life, to a fair trial, to not be discriminated against… They are about dignity and respect. They are the building blocks of a good life.”
In fact of course not hundreds but thousands of mothers have their babies snatched at birth and handed over to strangers not for anything they have done wrong but for “risk of future emotional abuse”.If the mothers threaten to go public to protest or demand the return of their children in the media they cannot reveal their own names or they will go to prison for breach of privacy of babies who cannot possibly know what is going on.
Freedom of speech and right to a family life ? I don’t think so !
