Oslo Freedom Forum New York 2019

About

The third annual Oslo Freedom Forum (OFF) took place on Oct. 23, 2019 in New York and brought together more than 500 dissidents, artists, musicians, technologists, students, journalists, and innovators. The speaker lineup included the highest-ranking diplomat ever to escape North Korea, an investigative journalist who has boldly exposed the system of slavery behind Qatar’s 2022 World Cup, an academic whose meticulous research is exposing Huawei’s ethical transgressions, an Academy Award-winning filmmaker who exposed Vladimir Putin’s Olympic scandal, and many more incredible speakers.

After watching my first speech at the Oslo Freedom Forum, a company donated a new prosthetic leg to me. It is because of people like you that I continue to walk, to dream and take action.
