Description: String Quartets around the world are standing up for Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) who have lost their lives for protecting environmental values and human rights. They are sharing movements from the composition, The Thailand HRDs. The music is not intended to be purely melancholic but have a tinge of defiance so that these deaths do not mark an end but a continuation of the fight for justice. #music4HRDs #StandUp4HumanRights #WorldHumanRightsDay (Dec 10)
