To mark Human Rights Day (10 December 2011), the Refugee Council has made a short film to celebrate the protection of refugees in the UK over the last 60 years. The film, "Protecting refugees: 60 years and beyond", features the testimonies and thoughts of refugees who fled conflicts around the world and rebuilt their lives in the UK, in each decade since 1951 - the year the charity came together to offer support and advice to refugees. 2011 is also the 60th anniversary of the UN Convention for Refugees, created after WWII to guarantee refugees' rights. With the voice of Zoe Wanamaker. To show your support for protecting refugees on the 60th anniversary of the UN Convention for Refugees, please visit www.refugeecouncil.org.uk/protect
