Lindsey Lohan, Human Rights Activist

09 Jul Lindsey Lohan, Human Rights Activist

I hope I’m not stepping on the toes of my Wronging Rights friends, but I couldn’t ignore why Linsdey Lohan thinks she doesn’t deserve to be sent to jail for 90 days for violating her probation:

It is clearly stated in Article 5 of the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights that…., “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”

Lohan also Twittered a link to a Newsweek story discussing the Iranian woman sentenced to death for adultery, in case her followers didn’t recognize how absurd it was for her to invoke the UDHR.

I think we should all have a moment of silence for Ms. Lohan — who was, after all, fantastic in The Parent Trap.
