Omar Alshogre..A Journey from Prisoner to Civil Rights Leader

Omar Alshogre faced a life of imprisonment and torture as a teenager in Syria. But since his escape from detention, Omar has used his personal story to educate and advocate for human rights. 

Currently, alongside his role as the Director for Detainee Affairs at the Syrian Emergency Task Force, he remains an inspiring and active public speaker, bringing awareness to rights violations. 

He has brought his story around the world, in venues from TEDx talks to speeches given in the US Congress. On February 11th, IE University is honored to have the opportunity to host Omar to share his experiences in Syria and discuss his subsequent career as an activist, acting as a “voice for the voiceless.”

Do not miss this unique chance to hear directly from Omar right here on IE University’s LinkedIn Live Event at 16:00 CET on the 11th. His powerful story is not one to miss— see you there!
