Show your Support for Macedonian Human Rights

Show your support for Macedonian Human Rights. Silence is NOT an option!

MHRMI and AMHRC call on Macedonians throughout the world to show their support for human rights for Macedonians throughout the Balkans.

MHRMI and AMHRC finance and organize all Macedonian human rights activities and work directly with every Macedonian human rights organization including Vinozhito, OMO Ilinden PIRIN, MAEI, Nova Zora, Narodna Volja, Ilinden Tirana, the Home of Macedonian Culture, and all others.

By supporting us, you are directly supporting the cause of human rights for all Macedonians.

Among our many initiatives are:

Macedonian language classes in Aegean Macedonia and Albania, including the opening of another new kindergarten class in Korca, Albania;
In addition to the MHRMI/AMHRC-purchased and financed radio station in Lerin, we recently opened a TV station in Korca;
The historic Detsa Begaltsi lawsuit against Greece for the return of confiscated property, citizenship and financial compensation;
The funding of pro-Macedonian newspapers and publications in Aegean Macedonia, Pirin Macedonia and Mala Prespa;
The landmark European Court of Human Rights judgements against Bulgaria and Greece for violating Macedonian human rights;
The operation of human rights offices for Macedonians in Bulgaria, Greece and Albania;
The crucial Our Name is Macedonia campaign, which demands that Macedonia end all negotiations over its name; and
Funding successful election campaigns for Macedonian candidates in Bulgaria, Greece and Albania.


We also lobby strongly for recognition of Macedonia and Macedonian human rights in Washington, Ottawa, Canberra, Brussels and throughout the world, specifically:

Meetings with Canadian, American, Australian and European heads of state and parliamentarians;
Meetings with Foreign Affairs officials from Canada, Australia, the US State Department, Council of Europe, among many others;
Attendance at United Nations, OSCE and other international human rights conferences and
Meetings with UN Ambassador Nimetz to reiterate our demand that the international community support the end to the "name negotiations".


Macedonians are organized, energized and determined to pursue their struggle for universal human rights. The biggest challenge we face is a financial one. Please show your support by joining the MHRMI Human Rights Fund: http://www.mhrmi.org/donation.asp or the AMHRC's Macedonian Minorities Support Fund: http://www.macedonianhr.org.au/wip/i...=109&Itemid=95

Thank you in advance.

The most notable and worthy Macedonian organisations in the entire world!
I will be doing everything within my means to support them and urge all Macedonians to do so if they haven't yet, and increase your support if you already do support them - the time for action is right now the time for support is right now, look back in years to come and say to yourself with pride how you contributed to this noble cause instead of looking back and saying ...what went wrong?....maybe I could have helped a little more!

[Pelister]

I have to say, the editorial in the latest issue of the AMHRC newsletter by George Vlahov is brilliant. I was inspired by it and I think that everyone should try to read it.

[Pelister]

George, if you read this, your editorial in the latest newsletter was an inspiration to read.

In addition to the MHRMI/AMHRC-purchased and financed radio station in Lerin

AMHRC, is there any update with the radio station? Can we expect it to go live by the end of this year?

Niko,

It is only lack of funds that is preventing the radio station from going live at the moment. Law requires it to be fully staffed and insured etc. and when these funds are raised, it will go live - this may take another month or it might take another 18 months....it is not possible to give a definite answer at this time.

Some interesting headings here!
I look forward to reading.

I look forward to reading.

Well we hope you enjoy it Risto. We have changed the title of the Review slightly and this editorial explains why:

Editorial

From AMHRC Review to MHR Review – not a Revolution, just another Sensible Improvement...

Dear readers, you will have noticed a change in the title of the Review. The AMHRC and MHRMI have been cooperating very closely, for over two decades; so it should be no surprise that our organisations recently made a decision to issue the Review jointly. Though as indicated by the subheading, this is not a ‘revolution’ and in more than one sense of the word.

The new title does not indicate a drastic alteration and nor does it signify a changeless circular motion. The content of the Review will continue developing along its established path; will remain available for electronic download without charge, on the websites of the AMHRC/MHRMI and we shall carry on publishing it four times a year, a month after the end of each season. Thus this is not issue number one, but nine; however, the fact that MHRMI will now also be distributing a full colour hardcopy of the magazine to all of its members/supporters in Canada and North America in general, is obviously a significant novelty.

That said, I hope you find use in this issue of the MHR Review, which is ‘bookended’ by two relatively long ‘looks’ at events from Macedonia’s past. The ‘in between,’ as is usual, possesses updates on our current activities, reports from our colleagues in the Balkans and highlights the artistic efforts of some Macedonians.

AMHRC
Great review! Keep up the good work boys!

[Vangelovski]

George, I take it MHR stands for 'Macedonian Human Rights'?

I look forward to reading it, particularly the piece on the FA, which is a pet interest of mine and the bulk of my thesis

Yeah Tom, it's Macedonian Human Rights Review - not a major change but a change anyway.

With the FA, well it might be of some use to you, though your research would necessarily be much wider.

[George S.]

Alkl i can say is thank goodness likeAMHR that actually represents the peopl'es rights.
George we'll read up what you got & keep up the good work here & abroad.
