Our mission is to free prisoners of conscience through focused legal, political, and public relations advocacy efforts.

Our approach is to use advocacy efforts designed to compel the release of individuals deprived of their liberty in violation of the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and other international human rights instruments.  We do not represent people who have used or advocated violence.

As a small organization, Freedom Now works closely with other human rights organizations and lawyers to identify high-impact cases that would benefit from our approach.  See Freedom for All, All for Freedom, by Jeremy Zucker and Jared Genser, South China Morning Post, February 5, 2005.
