Date and time: 7 Feb, 18:00 - 19:30
In Sweden, 270 Nicaraguans sought asylum last year. That is three times more than last year. One of them is Gabriela Pichardo, a university student who was involved in organizing the protests against the regime in April last year. She was later arrested and subjected to degrading and illegal interrogations for several days before being released and fleeing the country. Now she visits FUF to tell about how the protests began, what they are about and why people are fleeing.

In recent years, Colombia has received almost two million migrants from Venezuela. Far more than what the whole of Europe received during the so-called refugee crisis in 2015.
