Human Rights organization of Nepal (HURON) is one of the first human rights organizations in Nepal. From its creation in 1988, HURON played a pioneering and crucial role in the movement for the restoration of democracy. A unique feature of HURON is its pioneering and critical role in the movement for the restoration of democracy. HURON grew as a mass-based people's movement.
