Dear John,

Free Them All: The Fred Hiatt Program to Free Political Prisoners is a Freedom House program that conducts targeted advocacy in a limited number of emblematic cases of political imprisonment worldwide. These cases involve ruthless repression of human rights defenders, journalists, and prodemocracy activists, who were snatched from their families and communities, imprisoned, and prevented from doing their work.

These brave individuals who have dared to speak truth to power, expose corruption and abuse, highlight rights violations, and defy dictatorial regimes, often knowing they could be imprisoned—or worse.

Click below for the latest updates on our 11 emblematic cases.

Taking Action To Help Political Prisoners
