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

Tommy Olsen’s trial was postponed until 6 April 2027, following a request from the defence. Also facing trial were our LEAP member Panayote Dimitras, legal administrator and representative of the NGO Greek Helsinki Monitor, and two refugees.

Fair Trials has launched Absent Rights, a new European project examining how the right to be present at trial is protected across Europe and what happens when people are tried and convicted without being there.
