Happy(?) Human Rights Day 2019‪!‬ Asia for Life

    • Nyhetskommentarer

71 years ago the United Nations voted on the Declaration of Human Rights. How far have we come? Do we really believe in the rights of all human beings? And are we actually going to do anything about China's concentration camps?

Maybe it's up to you and me.

During a hike at Wo Hop Shek (Hong Kong's largest cemetery grounds), I shared some thoughts on what we can do, and why the world must focus on human rights abuses in China now.

You can read the depressingly evasive statement from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights here:

To read more about the church I mentioned in the video, you can see Early Rain Church's Facebook Page (link below).

In case you missed it, China's high-profile crackdown of this church took place last year--on the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights! China continues to send a very clear message about what they think of human rights and religious freedom, which the world must not ignore.
