The Monitoring Group in Chinatown
LAUNCH, ACTIVITY REPORT AND RECPTION
MONDAY 15th APRIL 2002
FROM 10.00am TO 2:00pm
Church Hall, St Anne Church, 55 Dean Street, Soho, London W1
Guest Speakers include:
Imran Khan, civil rights lawyer. (Confirmed)
Saffron Burrows, actress and activist (Confirmed)
David Yip, actor and writer (Confirmed)The 15th of April will witness a unique event in London - the launch of the first ever race monitoring and campaign group involving UK’s Chinese community.
Official and Government sources have always claimed that the Chinese community does not suffer racism or that it never complains about it. However the work undertaken by the group proves beyond doubt that not only does this community suffer brutal attacks but that its grievances are never properly addressed nor acknowledged. As importantly, perhaps, when individuals and organisations in the community challenge racism, their contribution remains hidden, unsupported and unrecognized.
The launch of the Min Quan is truly a historic event, which will include an analysis of the problems faced by the Chinese community, contributions from eminent speakers supporting the work of the group and eyewitness accounts from the group’s clients.
