As we all know, e-mail has become one of the most efficient and cost-effective campaign tool and this mailing list will serve for the purpose of human rights appeals and an effective campaign platform. We hope that this mailing list will serve in promotion and protection of human rights of the people in the Asian region through prompt action and solidarity.
