Extremely grateful for anyone who can join us in London on Monday evening to honour the life and work of journalist Christopher Allen, and renew calls for justice for his killing two years on. 6-7 pm outside the Embassy of South Sudan.

#JusticeforChris
Christopher Allen was a dual US-UK citizen, but both governments have done shamefully little to assist his family or press for an investigation. His case has received bare minimal consular support and no recognition of the gravity of a journalist being killed in the line of duty.
Every person who joins us on Monday - either in London or at the parallel vigil in DC - really will make a difference to the fight for #JusticeforChris. Please do come along, and help share Chris’ story.
