Fair Trials International

Annual Review

This Annual Review marks and records the significant changes which have taken place at Fair Trials International between 2006–2007. It also sets out our substantial programme of work for the coming three years.

We have ambitious goals; to provide access to justice to individuals in distress around the world, to campaign for fairness and respect for fundamental rights in laws and legal processes and to support and train lawyers in the communities in which we operate.

The Review highlights our casework and campaigning achievements over the past year and provides information on how individuals and organisations can support and become involved in our work.

Thanks to Pretty Ltd for the design work, and to Sam Wheadon for the moving photos of our clients and their families. More than any words, his portraits show why despite the other changes, people are still at the heart of what we do.
