Human Rights Day

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!

Celebrate?
I don't see too much to celebrate. I'm very sorry. I support Amnesty International, I always sign petitions but I truly believe in a much broad approach about Human Rights than fighting the enemy countries.
That is very strange.

Surely my blog will not be accepted. I will try writing a post about sending roses to raise the spirits of those who are in prison in China, Iran and all the rest of the world.

Great post Romans!
Discrimination is part of human being. Sad!
Psychiatrist patients are discriminated, artists are discriminated, those who have their opinions free of the middle class pattern, fat people, smokers... US citizens having to put a Canadian flag in their backpack while abroad shows how far propagation is part of our daily life. Even the way some people speak their own language can be a source for stigma.
Alll of those who doesn't follow the standard stereotype, nowadays: thin, looking cheerful all the time, partying, having a job and specially money are discriminated.
I think it is part of human nature and a sad aspect of globalization:
The world is becoming more and more the same.
Visit Alexandria before it loses it's uniqueness.

1, WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES AND CANADA?
2, HOW YOU CAN DEFINE HUMAN RIGHTS JUSTICE SYSTEM AND NATURAL JUSTICE IN CANADA?
3, DO YOU BELIEVE DELAYING JUSTICE IS DENYING JUSTICE?
Please read the story below and answer the questions.
I wish and pray nobody else faces this kind of Torture in his/her life. Still I could not find that it is profiling, injustice unfair practice, just to remind me who I am (My Color, My Name, My Accent) or all of these. I am south Asian Muslim immigrant. I moved Canada 8 years ago. First 2 years were consist of finding job and working, worked around one and half year, laid off and found another employer. It was a heavy manufacturing work. Just after a few weeks I got work related injury. In the next 3 month while I was on modified job, Being new in Canada and having no knowledge of my rights I was bullied, humiliated and discriminated by my senior workers and supervisor. I complained many time to responsible staff but no result. Last day on my work place I was threatened by a staff member, I was as frightened that next day I was not able to go back on my work place. They called me and promised me to see the matter but I was really frightened, depressed and was going through mental stress, I refused to go back on that place. Later one of my buddy told me to see a lawyer. Lawyer advised me to file a Human Rights complaint. I filed the Complaint with Human Rights, but they did nothing and kept my file under the STONES for five years and later referred my complaint to Tribunal, and another 6 months took to set a mediation, That day was another Frightful experience in Canada When I found that Tribunal Mediator was not listening me and was asking questions that was not really covering my case. At the end of mediation He told me that we will send our decision later. By the rule and Code they have to inform with in 30 days. till today I did not find any letter from them. I went to Compensation board they argued that a modified job was given to you and that you left that job. They have no idea how badly they are harming and hurting our lives. My wife and kids have not seen me from last 8 years. Due to that injury I am unable to make that much money to arrange cost of Sponsoring my wife and kids or even to send sufficient money so they can have an easy life. Soon I will be evicted from this place because now I have not that much money to pay the rent. I have to move to a shelter or what is written next for me.
I AM IN CANADA BUT FEELS LIKE LIVING IN A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY.
