Freedom Now is a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit, non-partisan organization that protects individuals and communities from government repression and defends human rights through direct legal support, targeted high-leverage advocacy, and capacity-building analysis and assistance.[1]
Its approach is to use focused legal, political, and public relations advocacy efforts[2] designed to compel the release of individuals deprived of their liberty in violation of the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and other international human rights instruments.[3]
A small organization with limited resources, Freedom Now works closely with other human rights organizations and lawyers[example needed] to identify high-impact cases that would benefit from the organization's approach.
