WITH reference to the herefordtimes.com story ‘Presteigne newsagent left shaken after police visit to enquire about sales of Charlie Hebdo magazine’ (February 11), I can only guess that the police in Presteigne are compiling a list of people to congratulate for their support of Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

This reads: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”

I, for one, will be sleeping more peacefully knowing that the police are taking such a keen interest in human rights...or perhaps I will as soon as they get to Article 30: “Nothing in this declaration may be interpreted as implying for any state, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.”

For the full list of your rights (there are just 30 and you can read them over a morning coffee) please refer to: http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/
