First to Stand - The Cases and Causes of Irwin Cotler

Irwin Cotler and his team take on the cases and causes of political prisoners and human rights activists battling against the world’s most repressive regimes. Raif Badawi, imprisoned Saudi blogger; Shaparak Shajarizadeh, champion of women's rights in Iran; Anatoly Sharansky, famed refusenik; Bill Browder, creator of the most important human rights tool of this century. Mr. Cotler is the International Chair of the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights and former Minister of Justice of Canada. “Never forget… indifference always means coming down on the side of the oppressor, never on the side of the oppressed” Irwin Cotler.
