On International #HumanRightsDay, we call for the release of GCHR's co-founder Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja in #Bahrain, our board member Ahmed Mansoor in #UAE and all HRDs imprisoned for their human rights work worldwide!
Behind every human right stands someone who defends it. As we mark #HumanRightsDay, we celebrate these champions & their tireless efforts to build a more just & inclusive world. Some have been jailed for doing this work. We remember them & will not stop calling for their release.
