The Justice Project Society, commonly referred to as Justice Project Pakistan (JPP), represents the most vulnerable Pakistani prisoners facing the harshest punishments at home and abroad, including those facing the death penalty, mentally ill prisoners, victims of police torture, and overseas Pakistani prisoners. JPP investigates, litigates, educates, and advocates on their behalf.

JPP has been recognized both nationally and internationally for its work. In December 2016, JPP’s Executive Director was awarded the National Human Rights Prize presented by the President of Pakistan as well as the inaugural Franco-German Prize for Human Rights and the Rule of Law. JPP is also the first Pakistani organization to secure the prestigious Echoing Green Fellowship in 2012.

The key to JPP’s success is our methodology, which combines investigation, legal action, and public and policy advocacy. JPP has 10 years of experience defending the most vulnerable Pakistani prisoners facing the harshest of punishments, both domestically and internationally.
