Husain Haqqani’s Thursday, March 6th Lecture To Be Rescheduled

Due to the current political situation in Pakistan, Husain Haqqani has had to cancel his lecture, “Human Rights in Pakistan and the War of Ideas in Islam,” scheduled for this Thursday, March 6 at 7:30.

Haqqani sent us this message: “…I would have loved to come and deliver the talk at the Rothko Chapel, however, due to the changing situation in Pakistan I have had to travel to Pakistan in an emergency. I flew to Pakistan last night and will be there for the next few weeks…. I was looking forward to the event but I am sure you will understand the reasons why I have had to cancel the engagement.…”

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. Mr. Haqqani told us that he is willing to come at another time, and we will send out notices as soon as the event is rescheduled. We hope you will join us then.
