Collectif des ligues et associations de défense des droits de l'homme
Collectif des ligues et associations de défense des droits de l'homme (CLADHO) - Rwandan Collective of Leagues and Associations for the Defense of Human Rights.
"On November 14, 1993, Alphonse Marie Nkubito, President of the CLADHO and a leader in the human rights movement--who is currently the Prosecutor General of the country--was attacked by several assailants. Grenades hurled by the assailants first hit his car and then him. Although permanently injured, he was able to return to work in early 1994." [1]
"CLADHO was formed in March 1992, following the massacre at Bugesera on March 8, 1992." [2]
Funding
In 1995 they received a grant from Rights and Democracy for $30,000 "CLADHO, a collective comprised of four associations, was established as a support network for its members. Two of the member groups, La Ligue rwandaise pour la promotion et la d‚fense des droits de l'homme (LIPRODHOR) and l'Association rwandaise pour la d‚fense des droits de la personne et des libert‚s publiques (ADL), will hold public education seminars across the country to inform the population of their basic human rights and encourage people to participate in protecting and promoting these rights."
