Fair Trials International is a charity that works to ensure that anyone accused of a crime in a country other than their own receives a just and fair trial. We are currently conducting research into the assistance provided by Consulates to people detained overseas.
Have you, a member of your family, or a friend have ever been detained in a foreign country? We would be interested in hearing your experiences and views of any consular assistance that you received. Perhaps you would like to sing the praises of a dedicated consular officer who provided excellent advice and assistance. Or perhaps you felt let down by the support available from your Consulate.
