Description
The event is being hosted by students taking part in the HRLC’s Scholars at Risk advocacy programme. They are advocating for the release of Dr Abduljalil Al-Singace, Bahraini activist and retired professor of mechanical engineering who has been imprisoned since March 2011 for participating in a pro-democracy protest. The students have organised this event in his honour and in solidarity with all detained human rights defenders and pro-democracy activists in Bahrain.  

 Our superb line-up of speakers includes: 

      • Khalid Ibrahim - Executive Director & co-Founder, Gulf Centre for Human Rights  
      • Sue Willman - Senior Consultant at Deighton Pierce Glynn; Assistant Director, Lecturer and Supervising Solicitor at King's College Legal Clinic 
      • Sayed Alwadaei - Director of Advocacy, Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD) 
      • Josie Thum - Research and Policy Associate, Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD) 

The event will be online live on MS Teams, 13th May 4pm - 5:30pm. All welcome and no registration is required. Join the meeting online at this link: MS Teams.
