Kazakhstan International Bureau for Human Rights and the Rule of Law (KIBHR)
Kazakhstan International Bureau for Human Rights and the Rule of Law (KIBHR), established in 1993, has grown into one of the largest human rights organisation in Kazakhstan. With ten regional branches all over the country, KIBHR promotes the protection of civil and political rights and contributes to democratic development, rule of law and civil society building through education, monitoring (data collection, analysis and spread of information), and engaging in advocacy.
Human rights defenders (HRDs) in Kazakhstan are faced with physical and verbal threats, acts of intimidation, judicial harassment, and arbitrary detention; their work continues to be hindered by legislative obstacles that vastly infringe on the rights to freedom of association, assembly, and expression, as well as human rights monitoring and promotion.
