SUMMARY:Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom\, Justice\, Human Rights\, and the Future of Europe: A Conver­sation with Maksym Butkevych
DESCRIPTION:Regis­tration is closed \nWe cor­di­ally invite you to an in-depth conver­sation with Maksym But­ke­vych\, one of Ukraine’s most pro­mi­nent human rights defen­ders\, on justice\, human rights\, and the future of Ukraine and Europe. \nMaksym But­ke­vych will share his expe­ri­ence of spen­ding more than two years in Russian cap­ti­vity\, where he was sub­jec­ted to a fabri­cated trial and unjust impri­sonment. He will also provide insight into state­ments made by his Russian captors\, who asser­ted that Russia’s aggres­sion would not stop with Ukraine but extend to other Euro­pean count­ries. This dis­cus­sion will also address the situa­tion of ille­gally detai­ned civi­li­ans and Ukrai­nian pri­soners of war\, high­light­ing why their fate is not only a Ukrai­nian concern but a broader inter­na­tional issue. Fur­ther­more\, we will explore the current state of human rights in Ukraine. We will also discuss the book „Am rich­ti­gen Platz: Ein ukrai­ni­scher Friedens­ak­tivist im Krieg“ (2024\, Anthea Verlag)\, which con­ta­ins texts by Maksym But­ke­vych. The book will be available for purchase at the event. \nThe dis­cus­sion will be mode­ra­ted by Olek­san­dra Bienert (Head of the Board\, Alli­ance of Ukrai­nian Organiza­tions) and will be held in English. \nWelcome speech: Prof Chris­toph Mark­schies\, Berlin-Bran­den­burg Academy of Sci­en­ces and Humanities \nAca­de­mic input: Prof Dr Oksana Mik­h­eieva „Russian aggres­sion against Ukraine: Threats to human rights and democracy” \nOrga­ni­zers: Center for Liberal Moder­nity and Alli­ance of Ukrai­nian Organiza­tions (Germany) in Coope­ration with KIU Compe­tence Network Inter­di­sci­plinary Ukrai­nian Studies Frank­furt (Oder) – Berlin and Berlin-Bran­den­burg Academy of Sci­en­ces and Humanities. \nWe look forward to your parti­ci­pation in this important discussion. \n\nAbout Maksym Butkevych \nMaksym But­ke­vych has been a leading human rights advo­cate in Ukraine for over a decade\, fight­ing against discri­mi­nation and for the rights of refu­gees and migrants. End of Febru­ary 2022\, he volun­t­arily joined the Ukrai­nian Armed Forces. On June 24\, 2022\, he was cap­tu­red by the Russian army in the Luhansk region and later sen­ten­ced to 13 years in prison based on fabri­cated charges. After signi­ficant inter­na­tional pres­sure and advo­cacy\, Maksym was finally released on October 18\, 2024\, as part of a pri­soner exch­ange invol­ving 95 Ukrai­nian defenders. \nSince his release\, Maksym has resumed his human rights work\, focu­sing on pro­tec­ting the rights of ille­gally detai­ned civi­li­ans and pri­soners of war\, coun­tering Russian propa­ganda and hate speech\, and reforming Ukraine’s migra­tion poli­cies. He is a member of the Expert Council of the Center for Civil Liber­ties and serves on the exe­cu­tive council of PEN Ukraine. \nPhoto: Emile Ducke \n
