For our April online local group meeting, we were delighted to have Roman Tokaryk, from the University of Oxford’s Ukrainian Society join us to speak about the Ukraine crisis and the ways in which we as a local Amnesty group can help and support the people of Ukraine. 

Below are some links and contacts for further follow ups:

If anyone is aware of any specific activities or events to support the Ukrainian community, please let us know (secretary@oxford-amnesty.org.uk) and we will publicise via our monthly Mailchimp and/or group social media.
