Bulgarian Helsinki Committee
The Bulgarian Helsinki Committee works to promote human rights, stimulate legislative reform to bring Bulgarian legislation in line with international human rights standards and carry out advocacy to make human rights protection mechanisms widely accessible. It was established on 14 July 1992 as an independent non-governmental organisation for the protection of human rights.

Human rights defenders in Bulgaria are frequently subject to threats, harassment, intimidation, smear campaigns and physical attacks. Cooperation between authorities and civil society groups continues to deteriorate due to growing support in the country for a more conservative agenda.
