National Endowment for Democracy is hosting an event tomorrow to honor Floribert Bahizire.
From the invitation (see below): "The people of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the worldwide human rights community suffered a terrible loss on June 1 when human rights defender Floribert Chebeya Bahizire was apparently assassinated after being summoned by the police. Floribert was undoubtedly Congo's most prominent, committed, courageous human rights activist."
