EHRCO nominated for a major Human Rights Defenders Award!!!

Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders:

Ethiopian Human Rights Council.
EHRCO was established in 1991 to strive for a democratic system, to promote the rule of law and to monitor human rights violations in Ethiopia. Because of its work, several members have been arrested and harassed by the government’s security forces, while others were forced to leave the country or to disengage from their human rights activities. A reduced staff courageously continue its operations.
