Together for Justice: Meet Hadi Marifat
“Meaningful justice for me means putting the victims of human rights violations and atrocity crimes at the centre of the justice processes”.
Hadi Marifat, founder and director of the Afghanistan Human Rights and Democracy Organization underscores how victims of human rights violations and atrocity crimes must be at the heart of justice processes. While criminal justice is crucial, Hadi emphasises that true justice for victims also includes their right to truth. Victims deserve to understand what happened and why these crimes were committed against them and their communities.
