Our Projects

Human Rights Observatory

The Human Rights Observatory is a Czech Republic-based information office whose aim is to document human rights violation in Latin American countries.

The Faces of Resistance

The photo collection presents people who over a span of many decades stood up to evil, inhumanity, repression, brutality and barbarism, who in certain moments displayed courage, a will to freedom, a love of their fellow man and common sense.

Center for Cybersecurity Studies

Cybersecurity risks and repression of activists in the cyberspace are two critical issues that have serious implications for individuals, organizations, and nations worldwide. This project aims to explore the intersection of these two issues and provide insights into the ways in which they impact one another.

Release Chains

Step into a world where hope knows no boundaries and compassion reigns supreme. In the heart of nations like Russia, Belarus, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, China, Myanmar, and Turkmenistan, political prisoners endure a relentless struggle, their dreams of freedom fading in the darkness. Together, we'll unlock the potential of a brighter future for those who need it most.
