On Tuesday, May 16, a meeting of the Human Dimension Committee will take place in Vienna (Austria).
This committee meeting will discuss freedom of peaceful assembly in the digital age. After all, new and emerging technologies create new opportunities for the advancement of human rights. However, they are also increasingly used by some OSCE participating States to restrict fundamental freedoms, in particular the right to freedom of peaceful assembly.
Manager and lawyer of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center Liudmyla Korotkykh will take part in this event and talk about the possibility of exercising the right to peaceful assembly in the occupied Crimea from 2014 to 2023, and in the newly occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions in 2022 in the digital age.
Speakers will also be:
Laura O’Brien – Senior UN Advocacy Specialist;
Mira Hamallati – National Police Assistance and Border Management Specialist, OSCE Mission to Albania;
Andrea Guber is Head of the OSCE/ODIHR Human Rights Department.
The discussion will be moderated by Ambassador Anne-Marie Callan.
