Regional training for AI staff members across Asia in Hong Kong

In the first half of 2015, PHRP conducted a 4-day regional training in Hong Kong, which was given to 10 staff members of Hong Kong Hub and several staff members of Amnesty sections across South-East Asia (AI Mongolia, AI Thailand, AI New Zealand and AI South Korea). The training covered basic international policing standards and related operational challenges. In addition two particularly important aspects addressed during the training were AI’s role in monitoring assemblies and in direct engagement with police.
