About the Speaker

 

Marynovych is the co-founder of Amnesty International Ukraine and a founding member of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group, which monitored human rights violations in Soviet Ukraine until all of its members were jailed for "anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda." In 1978, Marynovych was sent to a gulag for seven years and exiled for another five. In 1987, he returned to Ukraine as a writer and reporter and now serves as Vice-Rector for Mission at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv.
