Front Line has now published the Report of the 5th Dublin Platform which took place in Dublin Castle in February 2010.

Front Line has also published the Book of Testimonies which is the compilation of some of the personal testimonies delivered during the Dublin Platform.

The 5th Dublin Platform brought together human rights defenders from around the world who every day face harassment, intimidation and the threat of arrest.

The discussions during the 5th Dublin Platform addressed the issues of personal and digital security, the specific risks faced by women and LGBTI human rights defenders and provided a forum in which the human rights defenders could share experiences and learn from each other.

This report was compiled and written by Robert Archer

The Book of Testimonies is an edited selection of the personal testimonies delivered during the Dublin Platform. The testimonies give evidence of the continuing courage and commitment of human rights defenders. Some have been withheld or the name has been changed because of security concerns for the defender.
