Fighting for the lives of people facing the death penalty
What we do

Litigation


Reprieve lawyers represent prisoners facing execution at the hands of the state in the conventional criminal justice system, or those subject to imprisonment outside the reach of the law in the so called ‘war on terror.’
Reprieve concentrates on cases with the potential to have a wider impact on law or public policy. By selecting the cases of prisoners accused of the most extreme crimes, Reprieve works on the frontline to enforce human rights principles just when they are most likely to be cast aside.
Reprieve’s focus on cases where the prisoner has ties to the UK or Europe means that Reprieve is able to leverage UK or European government support for the case as part of the overall litigation strategy.
Litigation is conducted by lawyers qualified in the relevant jurisdiction who are on staff at Reprieve and also by lawyers working in the field through Reprieve’s Fellowship Programme.
