Truth Ignited

Oslo Freedom Forum 2021

About

At the 2021 Oslo Freedom Forum (OFF), we celebrated the stories that spark action across the world in service of truth. Our theme, “Truth Ignited,” sought to amplify the voices of those who speak truth to power and ignite movements that seek justice and defy authoritarian regimes.

For the first time, HRF hosted a simultaneous event in Oslo that ran parallel to the main Forum. Our Norwegian community gathered at the new Munch Museum to listen to in-person talks by Glacier Kwong and Filmon Debru, watch a livestream of the theater talks at the OFF in Miami, and discuss strategies for promoting democracy and civil liberties across the globe.

Hosted on October 4-5, 2021 speakers included Venezuelan democracy advocate Leopoldo López, Nicaraguan journalist and pro-democracy activist Berta Valle, Afghan tech entrepreneur Roya Mahboob, and more.

At this gathering, no one cares whether the tyranny is red or black. all they care about is that tyranny be opposed and defeated, and that freedom prevail.
