Wrongful Convictions x Tibet x Carnival—Judicial Reform and Human Rights Event Series
Last edited: 2026-07-27
"World Human Rights Day reminds us that there are ongoing human rights issues right now in our communities and across the world. Ensuring that human rights are realized globally depends on the efforts of each and every one of us."
In 1950, the United Nations General Assembly designated December 10 as World Human Rights Day to commemorate the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948, and to remind us that while we enjoy human rights, we must not forget that human rights issues remain unfulfilled in every corner of the world.
This October, the wrongful conviction of Ch'en Tzu-chiang was overturned with a final acquittal, moving miscarriage-of-justice human rights a small step forward; however, people like Ch'i Ho-shun, Hsu Pei-ming, and Wang Ch'i-cheng are still awaiting rescue. The Tibetan Uprising Day has also reached its 57th anniversary, with Tibetans protesting the Chinese government through self-immolation and fighting for freedom and human rights with their flesh and blood, while approximately 150,000 people remain in exile, unable to return to their beautiful homeland.
On December 10, we will participate in the World Human Rights Day Carnival, using marches and short talks to inspire more people to care about human rights issues. We sincerely invite everyone to join us, show your care, and work together to ensure human rights are realized across the globe.
