I found out there will be a panel discussion this Wednesday. If you are in the OKC area, it might be worth a trip out to OU’s law school (in norman) to learn more about what is going on about human trafficking in Oklahoma and beyond. Here is some of the information:

Wednesday, April 22nd from 7:30 to 9PM. Andrew M. Coats Hall, 300 Timberdell Road

Speakers:

United States Attorney Mark Yancey to speak on investigations and criminal prosecutions of these cases in Oklahoma

Associate Director of Catholic Charities OKC Dick Klinge to speak on immigration attorneys’ legal representation of  trafficking victims in helping them obtain legal status in the United States

OU law professor Peter Krug to speak on the international criminal law perspective and the relevant treaties dealing with trafficking in humans

Oklahoma State Representative Rebecca Hamilton to speak on the provisions of the newly enacted Oklahoma anti-trafficking statute
