Rehabilitation of Former POCs

Release from wrongful detention is the first step in restoring a prisoner of conscience’s freedom. Former prisoners still face significant obstaclesin returning to societywithout a complete exoneration, including travel bans, frozen bank accounts, and limited employment opportunities. Former prisoners also often require physical and mental health care to combat years of painful experiences while detained.
Freedom Now advocates in domestic and international venues for governments to fully rehabilitate former prisoners of conscience.When possible, we facilitate financial support to former prisoners to assist in their rehabilitation.

Can you imagine a doctor being imprisoned just for treating a patient, or a journalist detained simply for publishing an article critical of his government?
