At any given time, Fair Trials International provides legal support and assistance to 300 individuals around the world. Every month, we shine a 'Spotlight' on one of these cases, to bring their situation to wider attention. This map shows the location of past and present Spotlight cases. Some have ended happily, with the acquittal of the individual client. For others, the struggle to achieve justice continues. In every case, we show how you can help. Please take a moment to learn more about our cases and how you can become involved in their campaigns.
