The summer break has come to an end, so we would like to use this newsletter to review some of our cases and to highlight several upcoming ECCHR events: in August, a delegation from ECCHR travelled to Namibia to support the Ovaherero and Nama struggle against (post-)colonial injustice. French legal authorities reached a historic decision in the Lafarge/Syria case at the end of July, and since then have been investigating the aiding and abetting of crimes against humanity. The proceedings looking into the practice of deadly push-backs from February 2014 at the Spanish-Moroccan border have been taken up again. News in the Education Program: the 2018 Kreuzberger Kinderstiftung scholarships have been awarded.
