A talk by the Egypt Country Co-Ordinator
Wednesday, 16 September 2020
Amnesty International country coordinator for Egypt, Debora Singer, gave a talk organised by Amnesty Ipswich 7.30 to 8.30pm on Wednesday, 16th September via Zoom. Thank you to Debora for an informative lecture!

Debora says:

 

"I have been an Amnesty member for 35 years.   I was a very active member of the Islington and Hackney Group some years ago and am now an Amnesty trainer.  I applied to become a country coordinator as I wanted to continue to use my twenty years’ experience of policy and campaigning when I retired a year ago.   My professional career has included working on human rights in relation to victims of crime and women seeking asylum."
