International Human Rights Day 2011

Sixty-three years ago, today, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights enshrined the fundamental human rights to which each of the globe's citizens are entitled. On this important day, we pay tribute to all of those struggling to attain their basic rights from Homs to Moscow to Tehran. In particular, we honor Iran's prisoners of conscience, who have inspired us with their struggle and sacrifice. We wish them the patience, strength and perseverance to continue. And we assure them: You are not alone. You have not been forgotten.

Join us this December 10 in celebrating the struggle for human rights in Iran by sending a letter to Iranian authorities and urging their cooperation with the UN's new human rights mandate on Iran. Help us raise awareness by sharing our tribute video and urging your family and friends to take action. We thank you for your solidarity.

Really moving video. We supported a local event Human Rights Day 2011 and finding this now just reinforces how important this is.
