The annual Oslo Freedom Forum by the Human Rights Foundation is underway in Oslo, Norway. The event, June 3-5, has convened an interdisciplinary group of activists, artists, technologists and entrepreneurs seeking to support freedom fighters and humanitarian initiatives in opposition to authoritarian regimes around the world.
The event concludes June 5th with Bitcoin programming for the Financial Freedom Track and is available for viewing on the Bitcoin Magazine X (Twitter), YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn social media channels.
The 2024 Oslo Freedom Forum’s first two days featured talks by Rawandan human rights activist and real-life hero of “Hotel Rawanda” Paul Rusesabagina, Iranian dissident cartoonist Atena Farghadani, Researcher and Author of “The Body Keeps the Score” Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, as well as Block CEO Jack Dorsey.
The Financial Freedom Track will highlight a selection of figures in the Bitcoin industry and human rights activists focused on expanding access to open source financial tools (namely Bitcoin) to aid in protest and censorship-resistant transmission of value.
