Why

Save the date: 29 June 2026! Digital repression doesn’t stop at borders, and neither does our resistance.

When diplomatic pressure cancelled RightsCon (@rightscon) the world’s leading digital rights forum, we made a choice: keep going. Join us for a critical conversation that was meant to take place in Zambia, now coming to you through a webinar, live on Manushya’s Facebook and YouTube.

  • 2:15 - 3:45 PM Kathmandu
  • 3:30 - 5:00 PM Bangkok
  • 6:30 - 8:00 PM Naarm (Melbourne)

Across Southeast Asia, governments are using cybersecurity laws to surveil, silence, and pursue dissidents across borders. The UN Cybercrime Treaty gives those practices a legal veneer, and civil society needs to be ready.
