Tamara Suju Roa

Casla Intitute Executive Director & CEO

SUJÚ is a Venezuelan criminal lawyer and human rights activist. She is currently the Executive Director of the CASLA Institute, which promotes human rights and provides legal support to political prisoners in Latin-American countries. She is the author of the largest archive of torture, sexual violence and arbitrary detention cases in Venezuela. In recent years SUJÚ has collected first-hand testimonials from more than 400 victims of violations carried out by the Venezuelan government, concluding that such acts were not sporadic but rather systematic and widespread. In August 2014, SUJÚ requested and obtained political asylum in the Czech Republic because she was afraid “for her freedom and physical integrity” after receiving multiple threats from the Venezuelan government due to her work.

“Sponsor a Political Prisoner”:
Several countries, such as Russia, Belarus, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, China, Myanmar, and Turkmenistan, have political prisoners.
Human beings incarcerated in atrociously
Prisons today, without hope for a return to live in freedom, and extreme cases, without seeing their family again. We want each one of those with a powerful public influence, relevance or recognition for sponsoring a Political Prisoner by being their voice and becoming with their actions the possible bridge to that person’s freedom.
