During the apartheid, Nelson Mandela was allowed to study in jail. I've been banned from studying by the Australian Government for Nine years. If I had been allowed to study, I would have obtained my PhD by now. Today is Human Rights Day 2021! #HumanRightsDay

Today is my day. It is your day. It is everyone’s day. Human rights means freedom, dignity, equality, peace and justice. Human rights is for children, women, men black and white and doesn't matter what colour or race are you. #HumanRightsDay https://t.co/OeSFHtVfh0

Four years ago...still surreal and very special. Today the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons is law and #nuclearweapons are illegal. Momentum towards a global @nuclearban is growing. On Human Rights Day 2021 the TPNW is our best chance to get rid of our worst weapons. https://t.co/6bdSUym8Cr

Can’t believe they let the US continue the Assange extradition process: - On the last day of the US Summit for Democracy - On the same day two other journalists are formally getting the Nobel Peace Prize - On UN Human Rights Day - After this show of support for press freedoms 👇 https://t.co/cg7JJffRGV

It's #HumanRightsDay and another day of older Australians not having access to quality care in aged care - which should be a basic human right when ageing! We urgently need a human rights based approach to aged care - the govt must finally implement the RC recommendations! https://t.co/474Ie08edU

Happy International Human Rights Day! The theme this year relates to Equality- Reducing inequalities, advancing human rights. The ideas of equality and non-discrimination are all at the heart of human rights. https://t.co/o4JeY7HGTO

Today is World Human Rights Day and the final day of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence. But does the law, and the implementation of the law, acknowledge the human rights of women? Does the largely man-made law see women as human? https://t.co/H8smkI9Lkx

Munir Said Thalib, a well-known Indonesian human rights activist, was born this day. He was poisoned in a flight to the Netherlands in 2004. He planned to continue his study abroad. The mastermind of the killing is still a mystery, but we never forget about Munir. https://t.co/uff5Vjil1h
