Celebrate Human Rights Day and stand up with people all over the world who want to make human rights a reality for everyone.
Human Rights Day marks the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) adopted on December 10, 1948 that set down the basic principles at the very heart of the human rights movement. The UDHR has enabled remarkable progress in human rights, inspiring international human rights standards, laws and institutions that have improved the lives of many around the world. The day is a high point in the calendar of United Nations and is normally marked by both high-level political conferences and meetings and by cultural events and exhibitions dealing with human rights issues. Many non-profit organizations and human rights activists also schedule special events to commemorate the day. Look out for events in your community!
Council sued over axed Bob Marley Concert

My name is Mike Forrester and I am a concert promoter. Last year I was due to stage the Bob Marley Festival featuring many artists that included Sean Paul and Ky-Mani Marley as a tribute on the 25th Anniversary of his death. A contract was signed with Manchester City Council for the rental of Platts Field Park, 6 days later they cancelled the contract saying they had been advised by the Police that the concert should be cancelled, due to concerns of public disorder, the Police have denied this in court. I am at present awaiting the Judge to make his decision, as the case is in reserve I will not hear the verdict till next month. You would have thought it was a clear cut case, Bob Marley promoted peace. I thought this was a free country......
