Provisional Information Request

Thank you for approaching REDRESS in relation to this case. REDRESS is a small human rights organisation based in London. Where we can, we seek to help torture survivors obtain justice and reparation. Our mission is: i) To obtain justice for survivors of torture. ii) To hold accountable the governments and individuals who perpetrate torture. iii) To develop the means of ensuring compliance with international standards and securing remedies for victims.

REDRESS aims to help on all cases that fall within our mandate when we have the capacity to do so. We will be polite and considerate, keep your information confidential, and not discriminate against anyone. If REDRESS is able to take on this case, we will put your interests first when representing you, treat all our clients fairly and, make every effort to provide relevant and realistic advice.

Where it is not possible to proceed through the courts, REDRESS tries to help in other ways. For example, we can: put you in touch with doctors and psychologists; help you to access other specialised support services; make representations to human rights bodies, governments or parliamentarians; and/or refer you to other organisations who may be better placed to help.

Every case is different and we cannot promise that we will be able to work on this one. To help us assess whether we are in a position to work on your case, or if it should be referred to another organisation, please answer as many questions as possible in the form below. Please do not worry if you are unable to fill in some of the questions, complete as many as you can and we can talk on the phone about any of the questions, you find difficult to answer.
