STATEMENT OF THE ASIAN INNOCENCE MOVEMENT ACTIVISTS
2018.08.25

“Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere”﹍﹍﹍Martin Luther King, Jr.

We are nongovernmental organizations and activists in Asia who are dedicated to freeing the innocent and preventing wrongful convictions. We believe that miscarriages of justice are inevitable in each nation and that they bring significant harm to the innocent, civil society, the judicial system and human rights.

Therefore, we hereby declare our fundamental mission as a part of the Asian Innocence Movement as follows:

  1. We are willing to contribute to the Asian Innocence Movement and work as one to right flaws in our judicial systems in order to prevent future wrongful convictions.

  2. We stand by the principle of the presumption of innocence and are willing to provide pro bono legal support to the innocent.

  3. We will devote ourselves to redressing the causes of wrongful convictions and reforming our criminal justice system to prevent such convictions from occurring.
