Join us for a panel talk with the Amnesty and Cambridge researchers who investigated the 2017 US-Coalition bombing of Raqqa. Amnesty’s Senior Crisis Advisor, Donatella Rovera, Amnesty’s Digital Verification Corps Manager, Sam Dubberly, and Cambridge Student Co-Lead of the Digital Verification Corps, Matt Mahmoudi, will discuss the investigation and the campaign in the context of current events in Syria. After the talks, there will be a drinks reception to launch Amnesty’s art exhibition, ‘War in Raqqa: Rhetoric versus Reality. This exhibition is in memory of the US-led Coalition military campaign in Raqqa, lasting from June to October 2017, which killed and injured thousands of residents and reduced their homes, businesses and infrastructure to rubble.
