Armenian Advocacy for Human Rights to host free concert in Toronto

The Armenian Advocacy for Human Rights (AAHR) will host a free concert and exhibition, UnitedWe Rock! The Concert for Human Rights, at Toronto's Yonge & Dundas Square on Saturday, June 4, at 7:00 pm.

The concert will feature several independent artists from Toronto and abroad including, Saidah Baba Taliba, Obie, Karina Es, Graydon James & the Young Novelists and Armen at the Bazaar, Marketwire reported.

AAHR has collaborated with STAND Canada, Genocide Watch, Oxfam Canada, International Institute for Genocide & Human Rights Studies and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

This event aims to unite Canadians and promote global respect for human rights. Specifically, four categories of human rights violations will be brought to the forefront: genocide, war crimes, racism and the restriction of the freedom of expression. Partnering and participating human rights interest groups will inform the public about these issues and show us how we can make a positive difference.
