OUR MISSION
Free the Humanitarians is the official global clemency campaign committed to freeing political prisoners Ghassan Elashi and Shukri Abu Baker. With the backing of human rights organizations, civil liberties lawyers, high-profile philanthropy advocates and supporters from across the United States and the world, the campaign focuses on urging President Biden to commute Ghassan and Shukri’s 65-year-sentences to time served through a petition, social media advocacy and political outreach by shedding light on the persecution of Ghassan and Shukri and how it endangers our right to engage in legitimate charitable causes worldwide. The clemency campaign calls for Ghassan and Shukri’s release from federal prison with a safe passage to return to their families.
