The Oslo Freedom Forum brought together former heads of state, Nobel Peace Prize winners, human rights advocates, and business and social leaders to pay tribute to survivors and opponents of political oppression. The Thiel Foundation was pleased to sponsor this extraordinary gathering.

“The great heroes of human rights combine the fearlessness of a martyr with the creativity of an explorer or inventor…The first one to stand up for the truth faces the biggest challenge, but creates a model for the second and third, who benefit from his example.” -Peter Thiel
