Human Rights Day is celebrated annually across the world on this date every year. The date was chosen to honour the United Nations General Assembly’s adoption and proclamation, on 10 December 1948, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

• “Write for Rights”: In December 2019 Chester & Wrexham Amnesty International Group held a successful event at Storyhouse.  We are unable to hold a public event this year, but we do hope that you are still able to support Write for Rights 2020 by sending messages in support of those either suffering human rights abuses or working for human rights justice. The Write for Rights booklet can be downloaded from amnesty.org.uk/write-rights-2020-get-started   It gives feedback from last year’s campaigns and details how to participate this year.  Write for Rights 2020 runs until 31 December 2020.  Further information from  Mike Johnson, Chair Chester & Wrexham Amnesty International Group mikerj51@hotmail.com
