Scholars in Prison
Scholars at Risk undertakes activities on behalf of scholars still under threat in their home country-such as those suffering prosecution on improper or false charges or wrongfully imprisoned-as well as against widespread threats to an entire faculty, university or system.
This table lists scholars who are currently detained or facing charges, suffering threats or missing. SAR invites letters and emails in support of these scholars and their families. SAR also invites new information, or information about scholars not currently listed.
