John Humphrey Freedom Award Speaking Tour - Q&A with the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR)

The McGill Delegation of the Rights & Democracy student Network and the McGill Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism are pleased to co-sponsor a reception for ZLHR, the 2008 John Humphrey Freedom Award recipients. The reception will feature a Question and Answer session, with the questions posed by the students. Three questions will be selected in advance and posed to the representatives of the ZLHR at the reception.

ZLHR has played a leading role in the promotion and protection of human rights across Zimbabwe since its founding in 1996. Guided by a professional commitment to the rule of law and Zimbabwe’s international human rights obligations, ZLHR provides essential services ranging from legal support for victims of state-endorsed persecution to public education and human rights training for activists and civil society organizations working at the community level.
