Lasse loves accurate language, and he is concerned with making important stories come alive. Lasse has always been passionate about human rights, and co-founded the organization lightup Norway in 2013. He also wrote his master thesis on human rights at the University of Oslo. Lasse has significant communication experience from both NGOs and from startups, and has also worked as a fundraiser.

On the reason why he joined the Committee in 2021, Lasse says: “To be able to fight shoulder to shoulder with activists for human rights is something that has been a lifelong dream of mine. It is crucial that we do not take our democracy and our rights for granted.”
