Survey shows growing support for human rights in Scotland

SUPPORT for human rights in Scotland has grown to almost half, according to a new poll today.

A survey conducted by YouGov on behalf of the Scottish Human Rights Commission, found that 48 per cent of the 1,401 Scots adults who took part were supportive of human rights, up from 42 per cent in 2017.

However, while 60 per cent of those surveyed said they were “worried” about their human rights reducing in Scotland, fewer now know how pursue the matter.
