THE 2019 WORLD HUMAN RIGHTS DAY REVIEW OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER ON TRIBUTE TO GLOBAL ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS
The world renowned human rights editors and other media human rights stakeholders will converge to review the book titled ” TRIBUTE TO GLOBAL ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS” written by Tivlumun Innocent Ahure. In a package for the commemoration of the universal declaration of human rights by the United Nations tagged the world human rights day, this comprehensive work spanning all recorded protests worldwide in the 21st century is a tacit support to those who are encouraged to lead any specific resistance to leadership’s impunity. Its incontrovertible that there are laws which gives them the right to protest. The suppression of anti-government protests by challengers of gangsters philosophies in governance constitute illegalities. The author Tivlumun Innocent Ahure has provided indepth insights into the rights of all peoples of the world to vehemently demand justice through protests.
On every World Human Rights Day anniversary, symbolic events like this book review is organized by the International Human Rights Commission Geneva Switzerland for enlightenment on ways and means of checking abusers of power. The Secretary General, Africa Region HQ, H.E Dr. Tivlumun Innocent Ahure will entertain questions about the new book and announce the official date for the book’s public presentation.
The work has provided ample notice that while no human rights instrument or national constitution grants the absolute right to protest, such a right to protest is a manifestation of the right to freedom of association, and the right to freedom of speech.
