defenders of rights

upholding, protecting and defending human rights for all is risky business
the courage and undeterred will of human rights defenders to keep on fighting, to follow the legal and due processes regardless of the obstacles and threats, to continue demanding justice should be celebrated
demanding their respect and dignity bothers those who didn't do their homework, who claim to respect and uphold those ideas and ideals but feel they do not need to implement them
human rights are a goal but their respect in the process is the only way to attain them
and it starts now
