Victims' rights activist Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu has resigned from his position as president of Association of Families of Persons Assassinated or Disappeared after being appointeded to the Senate last month.
Perhaps the most prominent Quebec advocate for victims of crime and families of missing people, Boisvenu founded AFPAD in 2004 after his daughter Julie went missing and was later found dead in 2002.
Boisvenu will be replaced by Michel Laroche who has served as legal advisor to the victims' rights organization until now.
