Since its inception in 1994 the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union (HCLU) has been a leading NGO in the field of human rights and harm reduction advocacy in Hungary. Patterned after the successful model of the American Civil Liberties Union, HCLU provides legal aid service for vulnerable populations, such as drug users, psychiatric patients and people living with HIV/AIDS. HCLU has four programs: 1, Drug Policy Pr.; 2, Freedom of Information/Data Protection Pr.; 3, Patient's rights/HIV/AIDS Pr.; and 4, Freedom of Expression/Freedom of Assembly Pr.
