Association Malienne des Droits de l'Homme (AMDH) is a Malian non-profit human rights non-governmental organization founded in Bamako, Mali on 11 December 1988.

Leadership

Moustapha Cisse was President of the AMDH in 2006.[citation needed] As of January 2013, Moctat Mariko holds the role of President.[1]

AMDH is a member of International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH).

Human rights activities

In October 2005, AMDH organised a debate in Bamako about the death penalty.[2]

In December 2012, during the Northern Mali conflict that started in January 2012, the AMDH together with the FIDH published a detailed report[3] of human rights abuses that had occurred, referring to evidence of a rape campaign in Gao and Timbuktu after their takeover by the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), recruitment of 12- to 15-year-old children as child soldiers by Ansar Dine, and the extrajudicial execution of 153 Malian soldiers by the MNLA and Ansar Dine on 24 January 2012.[4]
