The Oak Institute for the Study of International Human Rights at Colby College has announced its preliminary fall program, starting with an address by Didier Kamundu Batundi, the second Oak Fellow.
All events are free of charge and open to the public.
The 7 p.m. lecture will be in the Robins Room on the second floor of Roberts Building. A reception will follow. His talk will be in French and interpreted into English. He and his organization have secured medical care for torture victims, confronted an angry mob to save a busload of ethnic Tutsis from violence, documented rights abuses by the national army and local militias, and petitioned for the release of political prisoners. The presentation will be in the Pugh Center, Cotter Union, and is co-sponsored by Colby's Amnesty International group and the Oak Institute for Human Rights.
