Everyone of us have Human Rights. What is Human Rights?

Human rights refers to the “basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.”[1] Examples of rights and freedoms which are often thought of as human rights include civil and political rights, such as the right to life and liberty, freedom of expression, and equality before the law; and social, cultural and economic rights, including the right to participate in culture, the right to food, the right to work, and the right to education.

Yes, freedom of expression and freedom of speech. This is what you can see in the blogosphere. Such freedom in the blogosphere has brought up an argument on ethical writing issue. Ask yourself a question, “How free is freedom of speech in the blogosphere - a free media?“

I don’t concern much in political issue but I believe most of you know that a Raja Petra, Malaysian political blogger, was jailed for sedition charges. He believes what he said is the truth with evidence so instead of paying the bail, he was on hunger strike.

According to the huma rights definition quoted from Wikipedia, what do you think? Is there any human rights here? Think about it. (not going further as this lead to sensitive issue)

Today is May 15, a day for Bloggers Unite For Human Rights. As a blogger, let’s unite together and spread the awareness of human rights. Let’s blog for hope.
