Amnesty International
Global conference on internet freedom
It's now a year since the launch of our global campaign against internet repression, and we've come a long way in putting issues of web censorship high on the agenda for organisations and governments worldwide.
But we need to do more.
Join Amnesty International and The Observer online for a unique, interactive global event.
When: Wednesday 6 June
18:30 (UK), 19:30 (Europe), 13:30 (EST), 10:30 (PST)
Where: Online at www.amnesty.org.uk/webcast
On 6 June we will use the internet to link activists from around the world to discuss the struggle against internet repression, and to celebrate the irrepressible human desire for freedom of expression.
We will also launch a news hub, that will enable you to link news stories about internet repression to the Irrepressible website.
The event will be chaired by BBC journalist, Clark Boyd.
- Listen to a preview (Quicktime or RealPlayer required).
- Find out more about other participants, including Jimmy Wales from Wikipedia and Sami Ben Gharbia, a Tunisian cyber-dissident.
Wherever you are, you can watch the debate live by webcast, ask questions, and make comments.
We hope you will be able to join us in cyberspace.
Best wishes
Nick Dearden
