On September 10th 2015 we held a symposium at Copenhagen University entitled ‘Human Rights and Youth: The Case of Bahrain’. A short documentary was shown, followed by interesting and important talks given by Nedal Al Salman of BCHR, Hanna Ziadeh of The Danish Institute of Human Rights, and Magnus Harrison of Humanity in Action. The event then had a lively discussion of the issues, rounded up by drinks and snacks and a chance top talk informally to the speakers.
We are happy to announce that the BCHR’s event was very fruitful leading to interesting discussions and insights. Around 40 engaged and ambitious students showed up with an interest in specifically Middle East and human rights. We would like to thank everyone who was involved in this successful event and especially the talented board of panelists who guided us through the process of mutual learning and perspective expansion. We cannot wait to see what the future hold.
