DESCRIPTION:Cambridge University Amnesty International will be hosting a d
 ebate on the 17th October to discuss whether human rights activism should 
 remain apolitical. Through this discussion\, we plan to explore the questi

 al\, and whether an apolitical stance is desirable in the modern age of hu
 man rights activism. This will be part of a broader term of events focussi
 ng on the political aspects of human rights advocacy. \n\nWe are delighted
  to announce that we have five amazing speakers who will each bring their 
 own perspective on the question. This includes Angela Patrick\, a qualifie
 d barrister specialising in human rights law\; Dr Çubukçu and Dr Palmer\
 , both specialists in law and the legal aspects of human rights\; Dr Shara
 th Srinivasan\, director of the Centre of Governance and Human Rights at C
 ambridge\; and Julian Huppert\, the former MP for Cambridge and previous m
 ember of the Joint Committee on Human Rights and an activist from Amnesty 
 International.
