Human Rights Wake PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 08 December 1998 12:00am

The Malaysian Bar and HAKAM (National Human Rights Society of Malaysia) will be organising a Human Rights Wake in commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.

It will be held on Friday, 11th December 1998 at 7.30 p.m. at the Bar Council’s Auditorium, Loke Yew Building, Jalan Mahkamah Persekutuan, Kuala Lumpur.

As we have recently witnessed numerous instances of human rights injustices and abuses of the fundamental liberties of our citizens, the Malaysian Bar considers it timely to hold a Wake in place of its previous 'Festival of Rights' that marked Human Rights Day.

The Wake will consist of dance, songs and poems (pertaining to human rights issues and abuses) by our local artistes including Mavin Khoo, Amir Yusof, Rafique Rashid, Eddin Khoo and Instant Café Theatre.

Victims of human rights violations will also be bearing witness with personal testimonies.

Another highlight of the evening will include the presentation of “The Malaysian Human Rights Fellowship 1998” by HAKAM.

For invitations please contact Ms Gurmit at the Bar Council Secretariat:- Tel: 03-2911698/03-2911366/7.

Dated: 8th December 1998

Yours faithfully

Mah Weng Kwai
Hon. Secretary
Malaysian Bar
