It's no secret that civil society activists around the world are constantly under threat. They suffer targeted threats, harassment and actual physical abuse and can also be imprisoned under trumped-up charges. Many of these activists are imprisoned without an independent trial. In addition, civil society in their respective countries is silenced by their governments. CIVICUS' Civil Society Behind Bars Campaign advocates for the release of such civil society activists behind bars and calls for justice. The campaign is presently appealing for the freedom of civil society activists in Uzbekistan and the Philippines. You can join the appeal and send a message of solidarity and support to them and their families.
