Join Rayhan Asat (Harvard Law School ‘16) in commemorating the fifth anniversary of her brother Ekpar’s unjust imprisonment by the Chinese government. Speakers include Sophie Richardson (Human Rights Watch), Thor Halvorssen (President of the Human Rights Foundation), Irwin Cotler (Raoul Wallenberg Center), and Professor Gregory Niemeyer, (University Of California, Berkeley). Burst the Bubble UK, a Youth advocacy organization, and LyLena Estabine (Harvard College) will be presenting live special tributes.
