ECDHR is excited to bring a second season of the "ECDHR in Conversation" podcast to audiences and to continue shedding light on the serious human rights violations in the GCC countries.

A new season titled "UAE: Not all that glitters is gold" will share the never-before-heard stories about the bleak human rights situation in the United Arab Emirates.

The first series, set to launch on October 29th, untangles the political context of the UAE; the grave situation of political prisoners who are languishing behind bars in the UAE prison for exercising their right to freedom of expression; the state's repressive and undemocratic methods; the role of NGOs and the international community in tackling human rights issues in the UAE, as well as the Boycott Dubai Expo campaign to put an end to this masquerade of lies by the UAE authorities and the Alternative Human Rights Expo, a campaign to counter the narrative of “tolerance” and “openness” that the UAE is trying to uphold at the Dubai Expo.
