Human Rights Watch mourned the sudden passing this year of two much-loved colleagues, Mike Jendrzejczyk and Alison Hughes. Mike J., known for his extraordinary energy and passion for social justice, was Washington D.C. director of our Asia Division and had been a staff member for thirteen years at his death on May 1. He was a pioneer who helped shape human rights advocacy as we know it today, developing tools and innovative new approaches that have become standard practice. Alison Hughes, Washington, D.C.-based advocacy associate, was only 26 when she died on October 26. A bright light in our office, she was committed, talented, and brought to her work an infectious sense of humor and a deep sense of justice. We remember Mike and Alison with great warmth and sadness
