AYRSHIRE'S Amnesty International group is getting ready to celebrate Human Rights Day this weekend.
Sunday, December 10 will mark the 75th anniversary of the adoption by the United Nations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, also known as Human Rights Day.
Members of Ayrshire's own Amnesty group have participated in many of Amnesty's national campaigns since the local group was formed in the 1980s, and are inviting everyone to celebrate Human Rights Day with them.
A spokesperson said: "The declaration sets out the 30 rights and freedoms which should be available to everyone in the world, wherever they live and whatever they believe.
"Some examples of the rights set out in the declaration are the right to have enough food, clothing and healthcare for ourselves and our families.
