February’s event features a discussion with Nicholas Opiyo, human rights lawyer and founder of Chapter Four Uganda. Opiyo has worked tirelessly to defend human rights and civil liberties in Uganda. He was a key leader in advocating for Uganda’s law criminalizing torture, and has successfully argued several high-level constitutional challenges, including the fight to successfully repeal the Anti-Homosexuality Act.
Complimentary snacks will be served and there will be a cash bar. Event is free and open to the public, but donations are welcomed. All proceeds will benefit CJA & HRW. Space is limited.
