What we work on
We have an active core group, a large mailing list and good following on our social media.
We have an annual campaign focus which we promote at local events and work with our MPs - for 2026, we will be working on rights for refugees and asylum seekers.
As a group, we are part of the Anti-Death Penalty Project, the Queer Network and the Amnesty Feminists Network.
Our group’s Prisoners of Conscience are Dr Mohammed Al-Roken and Ahmed Mansour - both from the UAE.
We also keep up-to-date with events and issues in South Asia, South East Asia and Cuba.
