CCR Legal Director Baher Azmy will join the final panel of this two-day conference organized by the Bernstein Center at NYU Law School. The panel title is "Lessons to Confront Closure at Home" and will draw lessons from the strategies and tactics raised in the conference to address the impending crackdown on dissent in the United States.

Facing a growing crackdown on dissent around the globe, human rights advocates are engaged in a creative and critical fight to defend fundamental rights. With serious threats to civil freedoms documented in more than 100 countries in 2015, there is a systematic attack on human rights values, institutions, and activists by governments worldwide.
