Fadern, Einar Rimmerfors (1900\u20131980) var pastor, folkpartistisk riksdagsledamot 1953 \u2013 1968 och sekreterare i Svenska Missionsf\u00f6rbundet, en djupt troende och engagerad man i samh\u00e4llets m\u00e5nga problem. Paul uppfyllde inte faderns kristna f\u00f6rv\u00e4ntningar, men han var ocks\u00e5 samh\u00e4llspolitiskt aktiv under hela sitt liv. Det b\u00f6rjade med ordf\u00f6randeskapet f\u00f6r Ungdomens Fredsf\u00f6rbund (UF). Per Anders Fogelstr\u00f6m, ordf\u00f6rande f\u00f6r Svenska Freds- och Skiljedomsf\u00f6reningen (UF:s moderf\u00f6rening), ans\u00e5g Paul som sin kanske viktigaste v\u00e4n och mentor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I slutet av 1960-talet blev Paul Sidas<\/strong> bitr\u00e4dande chef f\u00f6r informationsbyr\u00e5n. Han reste med olika yrkesgrupper till Sveriges samarbetsl\u00e4nder i tredje v\u00e4rlden, f\u00f6rel\u00e4ste, skrev och fotograferade, minns tidigare kollegan och v\u00e4nnen Sigrid Halvarsson. Enligt henne var Paul en av Sidas b\u00e4sta f\u00f6rel\u00e4sare \u2013 engagerad, inspirerande och med f\u00f6rm\u00e5gan att f\u00e5nga \u00e5h\u00f6rarnas fulla uppm\u00e4rksamhet. Han spred information om v\u00e4rldens or\u00e4ttvisor och utvecklingssamarbetets roll f\u00f6r att f\u00e5 bukt med or\u00e4ttvisorna p\u00e5 sitt eget personliga s\u00e4tt, bekr\u00e4ftar kollega Klas Eriksson.<\/p>\n<p>Paul var redan tidigt kritisk mot k\u00e4rnkraft och k\u00e4rnvapen. Under folkomr\u00f6stningen om k\u00e4rnkraft 1980 var Paul \u201dinfomationsgeneral\u201d f\u00f6r linje 3. I alla \u00e5r var han aktiv i Folkkampanjen mot k\u00e4rnkraft och k\u00e4rnvapen. S\u00e5 sent som 2021 medverkade han i granskningen kring slutf\u00f6rvaringen av k\u00e4rnavfall. N\u00e4r tankesmedjan Timbro skyltade f\u00f6r Klimatliberalerna med en f\u00f6rfalskning av solm\u00e4rket s\u00f6kte folkkampanjen r\u00e5d hos den erfarne Paul.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pauls insatser f\u00f6r m\u00e4nniskor och m\u00e4nskliga<\/strong> r\u00e4ttigheter \u00e4r m\u00e5nga. Hans kamp f\u00f6r samvetsf\u00e5ngen Robert Mugabe genom Amnesty (1964\u20131975), hans engagemang f\u00f6r frihetskampen i s\u00f6dra Afrika, f\u00f6r flyktingar fr\u00e5n Chile och f\u00f6r romernas sak \u00e4r bara en br\u00e5kdel.
