Human rights violations against detainees have explosively increased following the events of 30 June 2013. This led to overcrowding of detainees in places of detention, placing them outside the protection of the law and subjected to extended periods of torture, or even killed.
The objective of this project is increasing local and international awareness of the detainee rights inside places of detention, and incentivizing their respective families and CSOs to independently and objectively seek to exercise self-monitoring of places of detention to the extent possible.
On longer term, CFJ is looking for contributing in prevention of impunity of perpetrators of human rights violations in places of detention.
