The peace formed after WW2 was a turning point in european history.
Hitler and Stalin, amongst other dictators, arrested, tortured, and murdered so many innocent citizens in the 1930s and 40s that people woke up to the need to have concrete protection against such terrible abuse of power happening again.
12 countries, including the UK, established the Council of Europe and signed up to the Convention in 1951. Since then, the number of countries that are members of the Council of Europe has grown to a total of 47.
We were at the very heart of the Human rights acts creation and no government should be allowed to take ours and our children's rights away.
The UK may have now left the European Union, but we remain tremendously proud that 3.6 million EU nationals call our country home.
Yet currently, EU citizens residing in the UK, as well as 1.3 million UK citizens living in the EU, are still not guaranteed that their existing rights will be maintained following the end of the Brexit transition period.
The carrion call to rip apart the human rights we fought so hard for and then entrenched in Europe must be resisted.
This is about more than Brexit.
This is about the future of our colleagues, our friends and our family's.
