University of Lethbridge alumnus Manwar Khan (BSc '07) is holding the 2nd Annual Do Not Be A Bystander Candlelight Vigil on the steps of the Alberta Legislature at 6 p.m. on Saturday, November 1, 2014.
Khan witnessed a violent attack on an Edmonton LRT train in December 2012. It led to the death of one man and the incarceration of another. In response to the incident, Khan established a series of anti-bullying rallies in the summer of 2013, holding events in Edmonton, Calgary and Lethbridge. He has vowed to continue to represent victims of bullying and to try and stem the onset of violence so that it does not persist in society.
He explains his reasons for becoming an advocate of the anti-bullying cause in this video.
“The Edmonton Campus of the University of Lethbridge is proud to stand with Manwar Khan in the vigil against bullying," says Associate Professor of Management, Dr. Robbin Derry. "We encourage bystander intervention and broad education to reduce bullying and domestic violence. Standing together we are strong.”
