Human Rights Day rally planned

Wednesday, November 17, 1993 - 11:00

MELBOURNE — On October 18, social justice activists met to plan a rally on December 10, International Human Rights Day. The meeting was initiated by the Refugee Action Collective in response to the attacks on civil liberties contained in the federal government's proposed new "anti-terror" laws.

The December 10 rally will be build around the slogan "Stop the war on human rights, resist racism, and defend civil and workers' rights!"
