We are an all-volunteer,
non-profit, non-partisan organization that seeks to facilitate
representation for arbitrarily detained individuals who have neither
used nor advocated violence and whose detention violates fundamental
principles of international law.
Our
approach is to use focused legal,
political, and public relations advocacy efforts 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.
As
a small organization with limited resources, Freedom Now works closely
with other human rights organizations and lawyers to identify high-impact
cases that would benefit from our approach. See Freedom
for All, All for Freedom, by Jeremy Zucker and Jared Genser, South
China Morning Post, February 5, 2005.
