The conference took place at the Checkpoint Charlie Museum – a symbolic museum of the Berlin Wall founded in vicinity of the Checkpoint Charlie – a border crossing point at the former border between East and West Germany.

The Museum was founded over 50 years ago by Dr. Rainer Hildebrandt right after the Wall was constructed. Dr. Rainer Hildebrandt, a human rights activist, fought against dictatorship during Hitler times. He was imprisoned for 17 months and miraculously survived. After the end of the war he continued his struggle against dictatorship and for the human rights all over the world. His activities are now continued by his wife.

From Monday onwards the museum will be distributing yellow-and-blue ribbons (colours of the Ukrainian flag) to its visitors the number of which exceeds 3000 people per day.

It has been scheduled that in a few weeks there will be opened an exhibition narrating the current events in Ukraine under the slogans “No to dictatorship! Struggle for human rights, struggle against torture!”
