Attended a wonderful presentation by Horia Mosadiq at QUB's Human Rights Centre today. She is so convincing on the need to call out the Taliban for their gender apartheid. – at Belfast, Northern Ireland

What a very sad day for human rights in the UK. The government is proposing to repeal the Human Rights Act 1998 and replace it with a much weaker Bill of rights 2022: bills.parliament.uk/bills/32…. Such petty-mindedness.

It was lovely to have Lord Kerr’s family and so many of his friends at this event, even though invitations had to be limited because of Covid restrictions. – at Belfast, Northern Ireland

Pleased to see this published before the end of 2021. Brian Kerr’s passing in December 2020 still seems unreal.
And she thinks there’s a God.

So very sad to hear of the sudden death of Lord Kerr of Tonaghmore this morning. The most distinguished judge to have emerged from Northern Ireland and a great advocate for the strong protection of human rights. He will be very greatly missed.
Very sorry indeed to learn of Helen’s death. She was a brilliant humanist.
Sad to hear the writer Helen Madden has died. An @ArtsCouncilNI Artist Award recipient in 2010, she earned an MA from @HeaneyCentre & won the inaugural Norman Mailer/GQ Writing Prize. She was also, of course, ever a gracious presence in the hearts of many. Thank you, Miss Helen.

Very sorry indeed to learn, belatedly, of the death of Sir Peter Froggatt last week. He was a great man who led Queen’s University Belfast through some of the darkest years of the troubles. Sincere condolences to his son Richard and the rest of the family circle.
