the monthly group meeting takes place this evening but note it is in Attwood Road not Victoria Road. Starts at 7:30 and members and supporters welcome.
Minutes of the January meeting
Lively meeting this month and we were pleased to welcome another new member. We discussed the death penalty report; North Korea; the UK government’s possible changes to the Human Rights Act and forthcoming events. We also discussed the closure of the neighbouring New Forest group which we hope may not be permanent. Next meeting on 13 February.
If you are interested in human rights and would like to join us you would be very welcome. You will see our events at the end of the minutes so making yourself known at one of those would be a way to join. It is free to join the Salisbury group. One of our concerns is the new government’s plans to possibly weaken human rights especially when we leave the EU so helping us with that would be appreciated.

Write for Rights
Write for Rights in the Cathedral a success
We have been holding our card signing for many years now in the centre of Salisbury but the numbers willing to sign – even at Christmas – have dwindled. So this year we took up the offe
r by the Cathedral to hold it there which we did this afternoon (8 December 2019) with great success. Well over a hundred signed our cards and we were back to the days of a crowd of people signing.
Interestingly, and perhaps appositely, many were at the Cathedral to see the Magna Carta which of course is where the human rights story started just over 700 years ago.
Card signing
Card signing in the Cathedral cloister today (Sunday)
PAST EVENT
On Sunday 8th from noon till 2pm we shall be in the Cathedral cloister for our annual card signing. For many years, we did this in the centre of Salisbury usually by the Library but the recent 2 years have been disappointing so we have decided to try the Cathedral.
Look forward to seeing you there if you are in the vicinity.
