Thanks to your financial help
Release International supports

Christians imprisoned for their
faith. These include:

packages for prisoners, financial

accommodation and healthcare

WHAT
YOUR
SUPPORT
MEANS
CHINA Support of workers to
ensure that imprisoned believers
are not forgotten and receive legal
assistance and that the wider
Christian community is able to
pray for them and speak out on
their behalf. Direct support to
prisoners’ families
PAKISTAN Regular pastoral
visits to prisoners and their
families and tailored support
for these families including
financial help and assistance
with individual situations such as
relocating to a safer area
IRAN Support of ex-prisoners
re-establishing their lives and
ministry in new countries. Once
someone has been arrested in
Iran it is difficult for them to be
an effective part of the cell church
community because they will be
monitored
LAOS Support with basic living
expenses and medical needs of
the former prisoner, Bounchan,
following his release from prison
in 2012 after 14 years’ detention
GLOBAL PRISONERS
We have provided support to
families of prisoners and to
released prisoners from a variety
of places, including Bhutan,
Somalia and North Africa, as they
recover from their experience.
Release International helps Christian
prisoners of faith and their families around
the world in the name of Jesus.
To support this vital ministry to courageous
believers, we depend on the gifts and prayers
of Christians in the UK and Ireland.

prisoners and their families

prison
