Vuka! Online Consultation – UN Special Rapporteur on HRDs – Long-term Imprisonment of HRDs
February 16, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am UTC+0
On behalf of the Vuka! Coalition and the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, Ms Mary Lawlor, we are pleased to invite you to an upcoming online consultation on Thursday, 16 February from 9:00-10:00am (EST/NYC).
We will use this this occasion, together with Ms Lawlor and her team, to help inform the SR’s next thematic report on the issue of long-term imprisonment of HRDs which will be presented to the 76th Session of the UNGA in September 2021.
The consultation, which will employ both written exercises and an interactive dialogue, will specifically seek to identify cases of HRDs who have been sentenced to prison terms of 10 years or more and develop suggestions for what the SR and other actors can do to help secure their release.
Please do accept this invitation or share with relevant colleagues within your organisation/movement working specifically on this issue.
