- “Closure of the Bibby Stockholm barge, an inhumane "floating prison" used to detain people seeking asylum.”
- “In January 2025, we launched No Questions Asked, our hard-hitting investigative report exposing British universities for failing to conduct human rights checks when training security personnel from torturing states.”
- “The UK reinstated funding to the UN Relief Agency in Palestine (UNRWA) after Freedom from Torture and REDRESS publicised evidence that the decision to suspend funding was based on intelligence extracted by Israeli torture.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
