"Conflict in Congo" speaker event March 13, 2009

Amnesty International USA Group 48 and the Congolese Community of Oregon (CCO) will present a panel discussion about the conflict in the Congo.

Led by Portland area residents from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the panel will highlight the human rights abuses from the ongoing conflict in the DRC, such as displacements of thousands, violence against women and children, and the role of natural resources in the conflict.

The program, co-sponsored by the First Unitarian Church, is free and open to the public. For more information, call Amnesty International USA Group 48: 503-227-1878 or the Congolese Community of Oregon: 503-954-1656.
