A note on our logo
The character H superimposed on the number 7 (H7) was the monogram of the Norwegian head of state, King Haakon VII, who reigned from 1905 to 1957. During World War II, when Germany invaded Norway, the royal family fled the country and Haakon VII later spearheaded the resistance in exile from the United Kingdom. The king's monogram became a symbol of solidarity and resistance against occupation and oppression, drawn on walls, roads, or in the snow, and worn in the form of certain coins (as in the picture above) attached to one's clothes - despite the threat of harsh punishment.
Inspired by those brave people and their courage, the Human Rights Research League includes the H7 symbol in its logo and its members wear a wartime H7 coin on their jacket lapels, as a token of respect and as a promise never to take freedom for granted.
The number 7 equally stands for the seven virtues we aspire to promote and exercise in our daily work: Compassion, perseverance, vision, curiosity, humility, dignity, and volition.
