create awareness on human rights in Malaysia, Amnesty International
Malaysia is proud to present its Film Workshop 2002. This year's workshop
is themed '"TOWARDS A WORLD WITHOUT EXECUTIONS...". Opposition to the death
penalty in the context of political prisoners was part of AI's vision right
from the start. AI continues to work for abolition by regularly monitoring
developments, collecting information worldwide and organizing an on-goin g
program of work against the death penalty in cooperation with other human
rights organizations and governments. Come join us on our three uniquely
