This documentary was produced under the OMCT 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.
