Human Right № 1 - We Are All Born Free & Equal

Do you know what Human Rights are? Every person is entitled to certain fundamental rights - simply by the fact of being human. These are called “human rights” rather than a privilege (which can be taken away at someone’s whim). They are "rights" because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you. They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace.

Syrian First Lady Silent on Syria's Human Rights Record

Syrian First Lady Asma al-Assad has portrayed herself as a defender of women and children's rights in her country. But she has been silent through much of the escalating violence, and has appeared publicly in support of her husband, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Call on Syria's First Lady to use her influence to defend the rights of women activists, and release those who are in detention. (http://www.amnestyusa.org/syriawomen)
