Since its establishment in 2003, Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR) has been at the forefront of defending human rights in the region. Its impact has been visible from compensation secured for victims, prosecution of the culprits, judicial inquiries, questions in the parliaments and high media coverage of its research and investigative reports.
Under its India Programme, as of 30 November 2022, ACHR has filed 3034 cases with various NHRIs to secure justice and compensation for the victims and their relatives.
