"Brian was a soul who walked on the earth with compassion. He was a light and inspiration to all who knew him. His spirit of goodness lives on."
Our friend, colleague and fellow human rights defender Brian John, long-time Co-ordinator of Amnesty International Canada's work on Burma, passed away this week, in the early morning of January 23rd.
Since then tributes to his person and his legacy have been pouring in from around the world.
