In the fourth edition of the “MENA Prison Forum in Berlin,” the film “Surviving the Death Committee” describes the quest for justice of two people whose lives were altered by the impact of the mass executions in Iran in the 1980s. The film shows personal stories and legal triumphs. This will be followed by a discussion moderated by journalist Gilda Sahebi about the film and the fight for more justice with director Nima Sarvestani and Patrick Kroker from the ECCHR (European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights), which represents survivors and victims of serious human rights crimes before European courts in accordance with the principle of universal jurisdiction.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
