Sunjeev Bery is the executive director of Freedom Forward, a US-based NGO that advocates for the end of US alliances with nondemocratic governments.
This year, with a coalition of other NGOs, he initiated and launched a social media campaign to boycott Expo 2020 Dubai, as a protest against a façade of tolerance and openness and various PR campaigns used to appease western allies and provide legitimacy to the abuses committed by the UAE’s regime.
In this very last episode, Sunjeev will tell us why it is problematic that the UAE is organizing the Dubai Expo, how he came up with the idea to boycott this event, and what is the main goal NGOs want to reach from it.
