Our Impact

We are incredibly proud of everything we have achieved together in the past twenty-five years. 

Reprieve proudly collaborates with a network of fellows, consultants and partners around the world to help people facing the death penalty and extreme human rights abuses committed in the name of “counter-terrorism” or “national security”.

Together we work for systemic change by investigating our clients’ cases, fighting on their behalf in the courts of law, advocating for them with political decision makers, and campaigning in the court of public opinion.

Without the support of the Reprieve community, our work simply wouldn’t be possible.

Thank you.

Despite the many challenges of the past year, our Reprieve community came together, made real strides and had plenty to celebrate in 2024. Here are just a few of our collective successes:

Our work does not stop here…

Throughout 2025, we will continue to strive to uphold justice and the rule of law, hold power to account, fight unlawful state abuses, and defend lives across the world. 

We will:  

• Limit the use of the death penalty across the world by undertaking investigations, casework and litigation on cases with the potential to create systemic change; 
• Engage institutions, governments, civil society, corporations and the public in the fight for abolition of the death penalty and extreme human rights abuses worldwide. 
• Stop ongoing rendition, unlawful detention, torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment associated with “counter-terrorism” and “national security. 
• Shine a light on UK complicity in abuses, and expose and challenge government policies which may lead to abuses. 

We are truly privileged to work alongside an incredible team of staff, partners, lawyers, campaigners, investigators and supporters from around the world. Together, we are achieving meaningful change for our clients, and effectively challenging the wider systems that enabled the abuses they face. Thank you for your support.
