The use of the courts to smash human rights organisations

Human Rights groups and trade unionists are increasingly finding themselves in court up on trumped up charges of terrorism and rebellion. They spend many years in jail before charges are dropped or thrown out. Meanwhile their work remains undone.

PUBLIC Meeting

Teachers Club
Parnell Square

7.30 PM

Speaker: Yolanda Amaya
Yolanda is one of four human rights workers who spent 30 months on remand before the charges were thrown out.
