The Human Rights Foundation (HRF) defends and promotes fundamental human rights in the American hemisphere. Our staff works directly to intervene on behalf of those persecuted, jailed, harassed, tortured, or enslaved in the Americas.
HRF works to free political prisoners and to draw the world’s attention to those places where the media and the world want to look the other way. We expose and denounce tyranny—whether fascist or communist governments (such as Pinochet in Chile or Castro in Cuba) or authoritarian governments masquerading as democracies (such as Chávez in Venezuela or Correa in Ecuador).
Join us in helping save lives and stand up to tyranny.
