Last month, Malaysian environmental human rights lawyer and human rights defender Charles Hector visited our office as part of the “speaker tour” organised by Lawyers for Lawyers (L4L).
Charles Hector is a prominent lawyer in Malaysia en has litigated several cases to protect the human rights of minorities in Malaysia. He gave us an insight into his work under difficult political circumstances. He spoke about his work in pursuit of environmental justice, the difficulties that he is facing when working on environmental cases, what the Dutch legal community could do in support of these lawyers, and also the active role of the Malaysian Bar Association in protecting its members.
