"Beyond Covid-19: a nine-year lockdown for Bahrain"

Live stream on Friday 22 May 2020, at 19.00 GMT+1 (Brussels time)


 
In this particular time, everyone’s eyes are on the COVID-19 emergency – rightfully so. The emergency presents us with new challenges, which have a deep impact on global politics and society. While our daily lives may feel like they are somewhat "on hold", human rights violations have not been suspended:  on the contrary, they may even intensify due to the implications of this pandemic. 
 
Therefore, we decided to organise a weekly panel discussion to not forget about important human rights issues, bringing them directly to peoples' houses through easily accessible social media.  
 
This week's "Beyond COVID-19" broadcast entitled “A nine-year lockdown for Bahrain” will feature a pool of experts and activists in the field of human rights to discuss how the COVID19 pandemic has been affecting the situation in Bahrain, addressing both the  pre-existing context and the current effect on human rights, individual freedom and the respect for social healthcare.
 
The live stream is on Friday 22 May 2020, at 19.00 GMT+1 (Brussels time).
