Oxford Migration Studies Society Conference: 'Transformation and Resilience'
Join us at the OMSS conference on ‘Transformation and Resilience’ with 8 exciting panels on migration and climate change, colonialism, securitisation, gender and a key-note speech from human rights activist Seán Binder.
Seán is a strong advocate for migrant rights who was arrested in August 2018 for a number of serious criminal offences connected to migrant search and rescue work he carried out as a volunteer for a humanitarian NGO in Lesbos, Greece. He was charged with a number of serious criminal offences including facilitation of illegal entry (smuggling), money laundering, espionage and membership in a criminal organisation. This case represents a criminalisation of solidarity; saving lives is not a crime. This case is demonstrative of a wider policy of deterrence of asylum seekers across Europe, in which people are not only criminalised for seeking asylum themselves, but also for acting in solidarity.
