CIVIL called on all people to raise their voice in support of the struggle to bring dignity and justice to all human beings, now and with no delay. - Parents, teachers, leaders, armies and police forces – all – must immediately act towards protection of human rights. All should decisively and strongly act against misuse of what human rights mean, says CIVIL in the Call. |
