Yemen – Taiz commemorates the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Taiz-Yemen 12/12/2018
The Human Rights Watch team held an event in Taiz University Square in celebration of the International Human Rights Day. The event included a photo gallery that mimics the reality of human rights in Yemen as violations increase against civilians. The head of Human Rights Watch, Akram Al Shawafi, pointed out that commemorating the 70th anniversary of the International Day of Human Rights is an important event, especially as human rights advocates face huge challenges due to fighting stronger violators with higher powers amid the lack of intervention by official institutions.
