Dear Supporter,
Are you in Geneva on 14 March? Visit our exhibition to pay tribute to Cao Shunli.
Cao Shunli was a Chinese human rights defender and ISHR trainee who, ten years ago, was a victim of deadly reprisals for engaging with the UN. An advocate for transparency, accountability and public participation, Cao Shunli was detained at Beijing airport on 14 September 2013 while en route to Geneva to attend an ISHR training course. She was subject to enforced disappearance, arbitrary detention, ill-treatment and denial of essential health care, leading to her death on 14 March 2014. As with so many cases of reprisals, the perpetrators continue to enjoy impunity, despite multiple calls by Special Procedures for a probe into her death.
The International Service for Human Rights (ISHR) and partners are organising an exhibition on 14 March 2024 at Place des Nations to honour her memory.
The photo exhibition will also display cases of Chinese, Tibetan, Uyghur, and Hong Kong human rights defenders who have been targeted for upholding the promise of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
You are invited to join us!
We look forward to seeing you there,
ISHR team
