Our members in danger
Defending democracy at the risk of their own freedom
The work of activists is not without danger, and many suffer serious violations of their rights. The members of Tournons La Page, because of the subjects they cover, are particularly targeted by these attacks. The purpose of this page is to draw attention to human rights defenders who are persecuted in their respective countries for their work as citizen watchdogs.
