Dear colleagues,
This Wednesday it will have been a year since Cambridge PhD student
Giulio Regeni was disappeared in Cairo while researching the trade union
movement in Egypt. The anniversary of Giulio's murder will be marked by
events across the UK and Italy, as part of the campaign to get truth and
justice for him and for the hundreds of Egyptians subjected to forced
disappearance.
Here in Cambridge UCU has been working with local Amnesty International
groups to run events around the anniversary, including a major lecture
by Antonio Marchesi, Professor of Law and President of Amnesty Italy,
co-hosted with the Cambridge Centre of Governance and Human Rights
(CGHR). Your presence and support at these events would be greatly
welcome.
