The Asian Asbestos Conference 2009 has been concluded with a rally at the Chater Road in Hong Kong coinciding with Workers' Memorial Day commemoration.

During the program, victims and survivors spoke out, along with the international delegates and performances were made by local groups.

After the program, the demonstrators marched to the Legislative Council to press for the immediate banning of asbestos in Hong Kong, along with a letter seeking the Hong Kong government to establish a Workers Memorial.

Thanks for your question.

The members of the network are very busy on their own country campaigning against the continued use of Asbestos. A-BAN also released a short video on how asbestos gets inside the body. You can view it here: Asbestos Video on YouTube. It is available in 9 languages.
