Oxford City Amnesty Group are hosting a special meeting to examine the humanitarian crisis in Syria, the UK government’s response to date and how Oxford city has the power to directly support some of the most vulnerable Syrian refugees.
Experienced activist and expert Hannah Slater (Amnesty UK’s Country Co-ordinator
for Syria) and Professor Dawn Chatty (Professor of Anthropology and Forced Migration and Former Director of the Oxford Refugee Studies Centre 2011-14) will set the
situation in context.
Cllr. Julian Roskams, co-sponsor of a successful motion to resettle Syrian families in Malvern will tell us about the inspirational campaign, led by Malvern Hills Amnesty Group, which saw the Council vote to allow 60 Syrian refugees to be resettled in their town.
This event is open to all
