Condolence Statement on the Passing of Joe Stork

 

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Joe Stork, Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Human Rights Watch. Joe was a formidable champion for human rights, particularly in the context of the ongoing struggle for freedom in Iran. His dedication to exposing human rights violations and advocating for the oppressed has left an indelible mark on the global human rights community.

 

Throughout his career, Joe worked tirelessly to highlight the plight of those suffering under oppressive regimes, and his voice was a beacon of hope for many. His contributions to the field of human rights, particularly in the Middle East, will continue to inspire future generations of activists and advocates.

 

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Joe's family, friends, and colleagues. His legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched and the freedoms he fought for.
