Bardhyl Çaushi (Albanian: Bardhyl Çaushi, Serbian: Бардил Чауши, romanized: Bardil Čauši) (1936–1999) was a Kosovo Albanian human rights lawyer and activist.[1] Highly active in cases of human rights abuses in Kosovo, Çaushi was the dean of the school of law of the University of Pristina[2] and the first head of the Independent Jurists of Kosovo. During the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia he was abducted by Yugoslav forces and held in prisons in Serbia. Çaushi's state was unknown until 2005 when his remains were found and identified. His body was returned to Kosovo, where he was reburied with presidential honours.[3]
