Guantánamo Bay
Reprieve U.S. represents seven prisoners in Guantánamo Bay and has freed over 80 men from wrongful detention at the facility, including juveniles like Mohammed el Gharani. We also run a unique prisoner resettlement program, Life After Guantánamo, which helps ex-prisoners from Guantánamo to reunite with their families, access medical care, and rebuild their lives peacefully and securely.
Abuses in Counter-Terrorism
Reprieve U.S. investigates extra-judicial killing and detention around the world and reunites ‘disappeared’ prisoners with their legal rights. Our Drones Project pursues greater transparency, due process and regulation in the use of drones to kill outside of war zones. Among our clients are the al-Saadi family, anti-Gaddafi dissidents who were rendered back to Gaddafi in a joint CIA-MI6 operation when the eldest child was just 12 years old, and Faisal Bin Ali Jaber, an engineer from Yemen who is seeking justice for his brother-in-law and nephew who were killed in a U.S. drone strike.
Death Penalty
Reprieve U.S. is assisting over a number of prisoners facing the death penalty in the USA and around the world. We prioritize cases where an international influence can make all the difference. In the U.S., Reprieve’s Stop Lethal Injection Project works with pharmaceutical corporations to ensure that medicines created to cure are not used to kill. We have helped to save over 500 people from wrongful execution.
