Human Rights Forum Nepal (HURFON)
is a website presenting links to articles on Nepal's
human rights issues as well as important background
information. The link collection has been started in
September 2016.
HURFON is a subsite of
Nepal Research. Its name goes back to an organisation
that had been founded in Germany in 1990 but that had to
be dissolved some years later. Issues of the periodical
of this earlier organisation that had been published
under the name Nepal
Forum have been archived
on this website.
