Campaigns

There are two different streams of campaign, the public and the private. Both have their advantages and disadvantages; however, both can be very effective if deployed by experienced campaigners Detained International have the experience and are pro-bono

Media Campaigns

We are experts on Dubai’s judicial system, the wider UAE and numerous countries in the Gulf.  Our team have provided hundreds of radio, television and print interviews to the international media and run successful campaigns to deliver liberation from injustice for our clients.

Sometimes, it can be beneficial for someone in legal difficulty or prison to raise public awareness to their case and where relevant the injustice.  Some cases can be sensitive, therefore it is essential victims seek professional advice before speaking to the press; an ill-advised public statement can often have the opposite result to what is desired.  We work with clients to find the right solution.

Political Campaigns

Parallel to a media campaign – or sometimes instead of one – it is advisable to campaign to the relevant government, its politicians, NGOs and other intergovernmental organisations like the United Nations.
