Victories

Together, through the power of grassroots activism, we’ve freed thousands of people who were imprisoned because of who they are or what they believe, and we’ve changed laws around the world that affect millions of people. For example, a Turkish court granted conditional release to 10 human rights defenders, including the head of Amnesty International’s Turkey office, after being detained for months on bogus charges. We continue the fight to clear their names for good as their trial continues.
