AJ Foundation Advisory Council
After the sudden demise of Asma Jahangir, AGHS Legal Aid Cell formed an Advisory Council (listed below) to support Asma’s pro bono work. Asma’s friends and colleagues very generously stepped up to provide support to her mission through an advisory role. We are extremely grateful for their wholehearted participation and time. We appreciate that each and every one of them brings a unique strength and that all our advisers are experts in their own right and prominent persons in their own fields. They shared their commitment to democracy and human rights with Asma, and therefore agreed to carry on her legacy in the shape of the Asma Jahangir Foundation and AGHS Legal Aid Cell.
