Thisdocumentary was producedunder theOMCT sponsorship project"Defend the Defenders". The
main goal of this sponsorship project is to
protect the defenders who have become victims of persecution and acts of
harassment as a result of their activities in defense of fundamental
rights and freedoms. By encouraging Swiss and international
personalities to rally around these defenders, the project has created a
chain of solidarity which extends beyond the restricted circle of
“specialists” and aims at mobilising public opinion, the only real
counterweight to the arbitrary power of States.
