This guest speaker is one of the co-founders of the Human Rights
Defenders and Promoters Network (Burma), and a Visiting Scholar at the
UC Berkeley Human Rights Center. He will be presenting about his
organization's work.

In 2002 the HRD started organizing human rights trainings in Burma,
acting since then as an unofficial grassroots network. It is
believed to be the only grassroots human rights organization in Burma
at this time. Our guest specializes in international relations for
the HRD.
