The Open Society Justice Initiative and Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) sponsored a panel on PHR's new report Darfur: Assault on Survival.
The report discusses the destruction of lives and livelihoods in three villages in Darfur. During trips to the region between May 2004 and July 2005, investigators randomly surveyed dozens of survivors from the villages of Furawiya, Bendisi, and Terbeba and documented—with hundreds of photographic images as well as hand-drawn maps—compelling evidence of a destroyed way of life and means of survival that PHR has assessed as genocidal.
The event included a presentation and remarks by the report authors and investigators John Heffernan, Andrew Loewenstein, and Kirsten Johnson, and Justice Initiative Senior Legal Officer Kelly Askin.
