It is, unfortunately, that the COVID-19 lockdown had to be foisted but the ends justify the means!

That's it human right are more important than lives at the moment.but the independent still fighting the government trying to protect people.

Improving Gran’s chances of not being drowned by her lungs is totally a matter for The Hague.

Be less concerned about any infringement of your human rights, be more concerned about saving other people’s lives.

No one is thinking about their rights at this difficult time

The first and primary human right is the right to LIFE. If you choose to prioritise the other subsequent rights over the right to life then you are is breach of the Human Rights Act by endangering your family’s and others primary human right.

Lockdown rules honour our right to life, and thats more important than any infringement

Worry less about your ‘rights’ and more about doing what is right

Yet another thoughtless and foolish headline. This pandemic, by definition is far bigger than any individual’s rights. Why even go there! thoughtlessreporting

Written by a snowflake who thinks they are too privileged to follow the law, get over it have a little cry and think of all those dying because you wanted to gather in the local park.

‘ Yewman rites’ does not mean you can do whatever you like.

your *rights* are potentially harming even killing ppl

Human Rights. A cherry picked a long time ago. That tree is poisonous.

1) protecting family 2) life 3) food and water 4) shelter That's all the human rights you're are entitled to right now, the rest is a privilege.

It’s protecting your right to remain a human along with the vulnerable and sick people in our population.

I think we’re some of the most privileged during this pandemic since we’re actually allowed to go out for essentials, and people have been abusing that statement just to go out for the sunshine? Some countries are in full lockdown meaning you can’t go out at all sooooo?

It’s because of these articles that lead people into thinking it’s okay to go out and not follow the advice proposed by government.

Nobody has the right to put others in danger. Ever. Even if it's sunny and the children are bored in the house.

It’s keeping me and my loved ones alive! 👍🏼👍🏼

debasisdas Gathering is bad...It is not allowed all over the world

When it's for india mismanagement now you talk about human rights ? Do you really want ppl tondie so you can report it and sell your stories

Save and protect humans first ,and then talk of rights .

Human rights in Britain were lost with Brexit You get what you vote for.

It's disgusting how people are going on about their rights. I have a family to protect, as do many. 'Rights' is not applicable. The world is in crisis and people who claim 'rights' are selfish as they could be spreading the virus but they dont care

I need to subscribe to read the article but the headline is fucking ridiculous. A virus that is killing thousand and extremely contagious is worldwide. Fuck human rights. We have a right to not be exposed to fatal diseases. Those who dont agree are putting EVERYONES lives at risk

You should be thinking more about your responsibilities than your rights.

Ffs.
