Recognition by human rights organisations

Recognised as political prisoners

1,404 people

Of these, 5 who asked that their names not be published — counted in the figure above and listed at the end.

The criteria and the procedure belong to the organisations named below; FACTUM reports their decisions with attribution and makes no assessment of its own.

This is not the same as being imprisoned today. Of the 1,404 people recognised, 872 are behind bars right now. And 1,283 of the 2,155 people currently imprisoned carry no recognition of this kind — see who is imprisoned right now.
