Giving a Voice to the Repressed – The Restriction of Freedom of Conscience

Illustration
  • Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
  • When: March 21, 2019, 19:00 – 21:00

A panel discussion focused on the human rights situation in China, Russia and Latin America supplemented by accounts of specific individuals and groups whose freedom of conscience has been restricted. Can we draw lessons from these cases relevant to our situation? Do we have freedom of conscience in our country, or should we be concerned about it? How is our freedom of conscience shaped by the media and power structures?

The debate will be chaired by Ondřej Klimeš from the Oriental Institute of the Czech Academy of Scientists and Pavel Pokorný, a member of the synod council of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren. The names of other panellists will be confirmed on the VHL’s website.

Organised by the Václav Havel Library in cooperation with the Human Rights Commission of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren.
