Hans Thoolen on Human Rights Defenders and their awards

From June 13-15, 2023 the 15th edition of the Oslo Freedom Forum will take place at the Oslo Konserthus in Oslo, Norway. You can learn about the struggle for freedom directly from dissidents and human rights defenders on the frontlines. The theme of this year’s Oslo Freedom Forum (OFF) is: Celebrating Solidarity. This theme honors the unity, mentorship, and community that HRF and our global community — from frontline dissidents to journalists, philanthropists, and technologists — have fostered in the last 15 years. It recognizes that only together can we defeat tyranny.

One of the speakers will be Sanaa Seif, from an incredibly active family of human rights defenders. Her sister Mona has asked for attention previously. [see: https://humanrightsdefenders.blog/2020/08/07/update-to-monas-campaign-for-her-sister/] Her brother Alaa, is also in dire situation: https://humanrightsdefenders.blog/2022/07/07/mona-seifs-letter-a-cry-for-help-for-alaa/
