Join us for an evening of insightful conversation with award winning
journalist Peter Greste. Joined by Victoria Laurie, Greste will speak to
issues of media censorship, freedom of expression in times of war, human
rights, the role of writing, and how people can participate as private
citizens in safeguarding democracy.

Sydney born *Peter Greste* is an internationally recognised journalist
concerned with questions of politics, media freedom and war. He has worked
for Reuters, CNN and the BBC in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
For his work on media freedom and human rights, he has won awards from
the Walkley Foundation, the RSL's ANZAC Peace Prize, and the Australian
Human Rights Commission's Human Rights Medal. He is the author of *The
First Casualty* by Penguin. PEN International helped work for Peter's
release from an Egyptian prison where he was incarcerated in 2013 for
reporting that was 'damaging to national security'. In 2018, he commenced
his position as UNESCO Chair in Journalism and Communications at the
University of Queensland.

*Victoria Laurie *is an author and senior reporter with The Australian
newspaper in the Perth bureau.
