The Fray Bartolomé de las Casas Human Rights Center – Frayba

The Frayba Human Rights Center is a non-profit and non-governmental, civil organization, independent of any political ideology or religious creed. Founded in 1989 at the initiative of Samuel Ruiz García, then Catholic bishop of the Diocese of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, the Frayba Human Rights Center is inspired by Christianity and ecumenism. The Center works for the defense and promotion of human rights, especially the rights of indigenous peoples and communities in the state of Chiapas, Mexico.
