Need help?
You are probably reading this because you know someone who has been recently arrested in a foreign country. Or maybe you know someone who is already serving a prison sentence overseas. This section of the website lists the ways we can help.
You can call us, free of charge from a UK landline, on 0808 172 0098 (Mon - Fri, 10am - 4pm)
The person in prison must be a British Citizen – that is they hold a full British passport – and they must not hold a passport for the country in which they are detained. That is the only judgement we make. We support people wherever they are in the world, and whether they are convicted or still awaiting trial.
“May I take the opportunity to express my gratitude to you for supplying me with the means to contact my family in UK. Without your assistance, my time in this institution would be totally unbearable. At least now, I know there is someone I know I can turn to for help. Once again, with all my heart, I thank you and salute you.”
