A new report by the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners and DIGNITY, the Danish Institute Against Torture, draws from 30 interviews with former political prisoners and examines the severe consequences of imprisonment. Building on AAPP’s 2023 report The Flow of Injustice, the findings underscore how released political prisoners continue to grapple with trauma, surveillance, economic and health hardships, and displacement.
The report calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners, comprehensive support for livelihoods, healthcare, and education for former political prisoners and their families, and international action to gather evidence of human rights violations.
