On July 24, 20015, “Young Barristers” joined youth campaign organized by the Council of Europe “No Hate Speech Movement”. The campaigners and activists of No Hate Speech Movement, the youth campaign initiated and coordinated by the Council of Europe, invite European institutions and the member states of the Council of Europe to establish European Day for Victims of Hate Crime on 22 of July. This is to remember victims of hate crime and those who have fallen victim to such attacks. It’s also to show solidarity to those targeted, raise awareness and educate the public society about hate crimes. The Movement calls for concentrated action and mobilization from all key actors to combat it and prevent it.
“Young Barristers” notes, that the Head of the organization has been working on the issue of Hate Speech since 2011. After the completion of the joint project of Heinrich Boell foundation and the European Union, he was invited by Georgian-American University to lead the short course in Hate Speech.
