Demonstrate for a human rights revolution

This Saturday, 11 February, we''ll meet in central London to mark a year of revolution in the Middle East and North Africa.

 

We'll hear from speakers across the region, and stand beside those peacefully demanding their human rights - from Cairo to Homs - and in defiance against all those who try to suppress them. Show those risking their lives for freedom across the Middle East and North Africa that we stand beside them.
