The Organization International Congress Shield calls for the release of political prisoners around the world and the opening of platforms for dialogue and cooperation.
Amid a years-long decline in global freedom, public demands for fundamental rights and accountable governance are becoming more urgent worldwide.
Entrenched authoritarian leaders recognize these demands as a threat to their grip on power, and their regimes have consequently intensified efforts to silence human rights defenders and activists for freedom of expression, justice, and democracy.
To maintain our values and commitment to highlighting marginalized voices.
The Organization International Congress Shield seeks to highlight and combat authoritarian oppression through dialogue, cooperation, respect for the rule of law, accountability, and non-impunity,
Human rights defenders and activists supporting justice, freedom of expression, and democracy face significant pressures and damages in retaliation for their work. These artists, journalists, lawyers, clergy, and activists around the world often languish in squalid prison conditions, sentenced or detained with little regard for due process rights, and unable to meet their legal representatives or loved ones.
Injustice, tyranny, and oppression exacerbate poverty and generate instability and chaos in society.
While scenes of repression and escalating human rights violations and repressive campaigns still inhabit some countries, restrictions on freedom of opinion and expression continue to escalate, along with a climate of impunity and a lack of justice and accountability.
The Global Shield Organization continues to defend victims of oppression worldwide through human rights mechanisms, as it has filed dozens of individual complaints and served as a bridge to bring the voice of the oppressed to public opinion through its various platforms.
Many of them die slowly as a result of prolonged detention, medical neglect, lack of healthcare, and abuse.
We demand freedom and justice for political prisoners
In particular, prisoners of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, freedom of expression and information, freedom of assembly, and freedom of expression.
Persons deprived of their liberty for terrorist crimes may not be considered political prisoners if they are tried and sentenced for these crimes by national legislation.
Freedom for political prisoners in the prisons of oppression, tyranny, and tyranny.
