Please join us at the National Press Club for a thought-provoking briefing and panel discussion that will address threats to universal human rights from ideologies that seek to deny both human equality and liberty.

Panelists will include:

* Jeffrey Imm, Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.), on women's and children's rights, the dual challenge of religious supremacism and freedom, the challenges to human liberty by totalitarian ideologies, and growing challenges to racial equality by supremacists
* Dr. Nazir Bhatti, Pakistan Christian Congress, on Pakistan's blasphemy law, threats, attacks, and killings of Christian religious minorities in Pakistan
* Ashraf Ramelah, The Voice of the Copts, on the suppression of Christian religious minorities in Egypt, including kidnapping and forced conversion of Coptic Christian women and girls
* Lisa Tao, Falun Dafa (Falun Gong), on human rights atrocities against the Falun Gong over the past 10 years in Communist China (in Chinese with English Interpreter).


Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) has support in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Europe for the mission of renewed focus on national and international policies designed for consistent support of our universal human rights.  The press conference will be a part of other international public outreach events on December 10, Human Rights Day. Jeffrey Imm has spoken at the George Washington University's Homeland Security Policy Institute (HSPI) on the challenge of the ideology of Islamic supremacism, which was reportedly attended by Fort Hood attack suspect Major Nidal Hasan.
