The Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights (RWCHR), in partnership with Reporters Without Borders (RSF), PEN Eritrea, PEN Canada, the RWI-70, and the Buxus Foundation, is hosting a panel discussion which will focus on 20 Years of Dictatorship in Eritrea as a case study of the global assault on media freedom by authoritarian regimes. The discussion will revolve around the Eritrean government’s suppression of fundamental rights and freedoms, including media freedom and the persecution of journalists in Eritrea, and the widespread and systematic gross human rights violations in relation to the case of Dawit Isaak and his colleagues — the longest imprisoned journalists in the world.
Please join us on September 30th, 2021 at 11:00 AM (EDT). We hope you can attend this important event, and look forward to hearing from you.
Distinguished panelists to be announced soon.
