Fair Trials is the global criminal justice watchdog, campaigning for fairness, equality and justice

Fair Trials is proud to count among its Legal Experts Advisory Panel (LEAP) Network some of the legal professionals behind the legal battle in the case of Julian Assange. What legal pathways and insights can we learn from this case? This series of webinars draw learnings from the case of Julian Assange which participants may find helpful for their own legal or NGO practice. The series will be of interest to lawyers and NGOs working on issues of extradition, freedom of speech, transnational repression involving journalists, activists and human rights defenders.

Fair Trial’s Senior Legal Officer Chryssa Mela attended the High-Level Forum on the Future of EU Criminal Justice. This event is organised by the European Commission and the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union on 4-5 March 2025 in Brussels. The aim of the Forum is to develop a common vision for actions of legislative and non-legislative character for the next five years.
