Bar Council Calls Off Human Rights Day Walk


KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 4 (Bernama) -- The Bar Council has called off its plan to stage a "People's Freedom Walk" to mark World Human Rights Day on Dec 9.

Its president Ambiga Sreenevasan said the council was mindful that many would be disappointed over the cancellation of the walk but other more significant considerations have prevailed on this occasion.

She, however, said the council would proceed with the planned activities at the Central Market which includes a lip-reading session of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and stage performances by the Orang Asli and others.

The public are invited to the event which will start at 9am and end at 2.30pm, she said in a statement today.
