A student group in Ogoni has launched a new website to portray their interest and concerns in the Ogoni struggle for justice. The group, known as the HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS CLUB (HURAC), is a student-led group formed in 2008 by the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People during a summit call by MOSOP. It was during this summit that MOSOP, under the leadership of the former MOSOP president, Dr Ledum Mitee, charged the students of the schools that attended the summit to form a human rights club in each of their respective schools. Following this mandate, students of RIVPOLYCSS started the club in their school and it was officially launched on the 16th of January, 2009 by Mr Legborsi Saro-Pyabgara, the MOSOP’s International Advocacy Officer and other MOSOP delegates. Ever since then, the club has been established in most of the secondary schools in Bori. The club executive aims to expand the club to other schools within and outside Ogoni in due course. The club aims to educate the youth on their fundamental human rights and how to defend them when the need arises.
