     Tajikistan, to monitor human rights violations in that country.

     Responsibilities include:

     * monitoring and researching human rights developments in Tajikistan,
     with an emphasis on taking testimony;

     * writing reports and newsletters on human rights concerns;

    * bringing human rights violations to the attention of government
     bodies in Tajikistan, other CIS states and the United States;

     * working with local groups to help in the development of
     non-governmental human rights activities in Tajikistan, coordinating
     training programs, and bringing human rights experts to the region;

     * expanding contacts with government officials and human rights groups
     in Tajikistan, the media, and international organizations based in the
     region, such as the OSCE and the United Nations; and

     * developing strategies together with Human Rights Watch/Helsinki's
     New York, Moscow and Brussels offices for putting pressure on the
     Tajik government to curb abuses.

     The researcher will be based in Dushanbe and should be prepared to
