Human Rights Watch has received a $100 million donation from the billionaire currency speculator and philanthropist George Soros. It’s Soros’s largest-ever donation to a non-governmental organization and the highest single donation the group has ever received.

George Soros: “Originally I wanted to give away all my money during my lifetime, but I changed my mind because the Foundation has now a mission that I think it can perform without me, and I think it will be a necessary mission, namely providing financial support to civil society to hold the governments accountable for their actions — how they spend their money and how they behave.”
