 Dear friends and colleagues, I'm launching a brief crowdfunding call to support a <strong>journalist / human rights defender</strong> colleague who is currently in the EU on a limited protective residency.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Forced into exile after being kidnapped, tortured and jailed for work in <strong>protecting women and marginalised members of the community</strong>, this person was also subsequently jailed and beaten during an initial exile in a neighbouring country. As a result of the <strong>torture, beatings and extra-judicial detention</strong>, this person lost a number of teeth, others were broken and further damage was caused by acid being poured into the mouth. This now requires <strong>urgent medical attention </strong>and treatment.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The basic stabilising dental work has been estimated at approximately 5000,-- EUR of which up to 3000,-- EUR is being covered by a direct funding support and some insurance coverage, so we are trying to <strong>help by raising the missing approx. 2000,-- EUR.</strong>
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Due to <strong>personal security reasons</strong> I am not able to release the person's name and identity online, but am available via <strong>DM</strong> if you need or want to know more about this person's journey.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our organisation, <strong>r0g_agency for open culture and critical transformation</strong> based in both Berlin, Germany and Ottawa, Canada is a non-profit organisation working to support community leaders, civil society activists, journalists and youth innovators affected by conflict.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We frequently host human rights defenders from such regions.
</div>
<div>
 It would be great to get this relatively small amount together which i'm collecting on the behalf of the HRD, and which will be used <strong>exclusively to cover the billing deficit</strong> of this essential dental work.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 <strong>Thanks for your help!</strong>
</div>
<div>
 Greetings to all,
</div>
<div>
 Stephen!
