What type of case are you requesting help with?*
We can help you if you are detained and your rights have been violated by the detaining institution. This may be the case if for example: ● you have been ill-treated by prison staff; ● you have been ill-treated by another detainee but the prison has failed to fulfil its duties and has not acted on your complaint (for example you have been ill-treated by someone you should not have been with in the same cell; or the prison has not reported your case after you made a complaint about ill-treatment); ● you have been prevented from contacting your relatives, friends or a lawyer within the permitted time; or ● you were not taken to your relative's funeral, even although you requested it. We can also help in the above cases if you are a relative or acquaintance of the detainee.
