Police Brutality: Pickets planned for Human Rights Day 2015
March 21st was declared a day of commemoration to foster a culture of human rights enshrined in our constitution. These very rights are now under threat, as deaths that can be attributed to the police have increased dramatically over the past few years. The Right2Know has joined hands with Numsa, the United Front, and others to make Human Rights Day a day of action against police brutality.
We will be holding 21 pickets at police stations across the country. Read our joint statement here.
