On 9 Nov 1938, #Kristallnacht showed how prejudice can turn to state-backed violence.
75 years on from the #ECHR, Article 14 reminds us: rights belong to all, without discrimination.

75 years ago, the UK was among the first to sign the #ECHR, a landmark of Britain’s post-war vision for fairness, accountability & compassion under the rule of law. As those values face new challenges, defending #HumanRights remains not just our duty, but our heritage.
