Robert Quinn and the Scholars at Risk

The experience event I went to was presented by a scholar named Robert Quinn. Quinn is from a program called Scholars at Risk, which help scholars in other countries when they get into trouble with the law. For example, one scholar from Pakistan had to deal with a threat of his son's kidnapping. Scholars at Risk help relocate him to a country where he can continue his research and reports. I have learned that in foreign countries many scholars are required to send in their reportings to the government for sensorship. Also many scholars face threats from both government and non-government parties. Some scholars actually get arrested for what their reports are about, or sometimes they might even get assassinated.
