Film director Oleg Sentsov was active in Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity and was detained in Crimea in May 2014 and sentenced to 20 years in a Russian prison on charges of terrorism. On September 7, 2019, Senstov was freed from a Russian penal colony after more than five years of detention as part of a prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine. He was one of 35 Ukrainian citizens that returned home. He continues to fight for freedom of expression and the freedom of other Ukrainian political prisoners. Oleg is visiting on Toronto on the invitation of the Ukrainian Embassy in Canada.
The event will be chaired by Professor Taras Koznarsky.
