The guest speaker is a co-founder of the Human Rights Defenders and Promoters Network (HRD) in Burma, and a Visiting Scholar at the UC Berkeley Human Rights Center. He will be presenting about his organization's work.
In 2002 the HRD started organizing human rights trainings in Burma, acting since then as an unofficial grassroots network. It is believed to be the only grassroots human rights organization in Burma at this time. Our guest specializes in international relations for the HRD.
