“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.”
Significant events
- “The rise of authoritarian governments has led to more torture of those who dissent, and forceful attempts to dismantle the global human rights architecture.”
- “REDRESS has worked with our national partners to deliver justice relating to CIA torture in Lithuania, and has promoted accountability for torture in countries including Myanmar, Cameroon, India, and Turkey, and delivered large scale projects documenting torture in Sudan, Egypt, and Belarus.”
- “In the United Kingdom we pushed the new government to make good on their commitment to introduce a right to consular assistance for survivors of torture.”
- “REDRESS successfully promoted the use of Magnitsky sanctions as a form of interim justice and interim reparative measures in many cases, including in Angola, Sudan, Iran, and Georgia.”
- “We supported a case at the ECOWAS Court which found the Nigerian government had breached the rights of protesters at the Lekki Toll Gate protest.”
- “Two survivors of torture received compensation of €110,000 ordered by the European Court of Human Rights in cases brought by REDRESS against Turkey and Lithuania.”

- “The UK imposed Magnitsky sanctions on six Georgian officials.”
- “REDRESS published a first-of-its kind report on Financial Accountability at the International Criminal Court.”
- “We called on the UK to repurpose £50 million in fines and proceeds of confiscated assets towards reparation for survivors in Ukraine.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
