Bring Zack Home: Advocating for the Arbitrarily Detained through Law and Policy

In 2022, the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention determined that the arrest and subsequent detention of Zack Shahin in the UAE was arbitrary and in contravention of international human rights law. Zack’s family has been advocating for his release since 2008. Join us as Zack’s daughter, Meera Shahin, and his lawyer, Rhys Davies, discuss legal strategies and advocacy for his release. This event is co-sponsored by Advocates for Human Rights, the Program on Law & Society in the Muslim World, and the Middle Eastern and North African Law Students Association. Lunch will be provided.
