At ICCO and Kerk in Actie, we learned with sadness about the death of Nicholas Howen. Although we never had the chance to meet him personally, we knew him through our partnership with ICJ. We want to express our deepest respect for his dedication to worldwide justice and his tremendous contributions to the human rights movement. He was a source of inspiration to many, and will be dearly missed. We send our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues, and wish all of his fellow human rights defenders the strength to continue the work in his spirit.
