The Oslo Freedom Forum is a master class conference produced by the Human Rights Foundation. In this episode of Perspectives with Neilo, we report from the recent event which took place in Taiwan on October 18th last. This is the fourth time since 2018 that the conference has been held in Taiwan, and it has been described by the organizers as a unique opportunity to shine a spotlight on Taiwan as a beacon for democracy.
This year hosts an impressive line-up of speakers and an Interactive Expo. We were fortunate to chat with Tibetan activist Chemi Lhamo, as well as Expo participants from Chat for Taiwan and the Taiwan Association for Human Rights.
Our podcast kicks off with highlights of the opening remarks by Oslo Freedom Forum founder and CEO, Thor Halvorssen and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Republic of China (Taiwan), Tien Chung-kwang.
Date of Recording: October 18th, 2023.
