Scots Human Rights in Audio Format - Listen Here

To mark the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Amnesty International has presented First Minister, Alex Salmond, with a poster copy of the Scots translation.

In collaboration with the Scots Language Centre and Scottish Language Dictionaries, Amnesty has circulated an audio version of six of the best known of the Declaration's articles.

The six articles, translated by Colin Donati, are read here by Chris Robinson and Pauline Cairns Speitel from SLD.
