Reprieve Us

We investigate, litigate and educate on behalf of individuals facing abusive detention, extrajudicial killing and execution, focusing on those cases most likely to help reshape US foreign policy and the administration of the death penalty.  

We channel the power of international governments and corporations to curb US counter-terrorism abuses and to reduce the use of the death penalty worldwide.

 

Abuses in Counter-Terrorism

Reprieve US investigates extra-judicial killing and detention around the world and reunites 'disappeared' prisoners with their legal rights.   Our Drones Project pursues greater transparency, due process and regulation in the use of drones to kill outside of war zones.

 

Death Rows Worldwide

Reprieve US is assisting over 70 indigent prisoners facing the death penalty in the USA and around the world; we prioritize cases where an international influence can make all the difference. Our Stop Lethal Injections Project works with ethical pharmaceutical corporations to ensure that medicines created to cure are not used to kill.  

 

Guantánamo Bay

Reprieve US helps represent 15 prisoners in Guantánamo Bay and provides assistance for many more. Our Force-feeding Litigation challenges the military's harsh tube-feeding techniques.
