About Reprieve US:
Reprieve US is a registered 501(c)(3) assisting victims of extreme human rights
abuses carried out by governments. We are made up of lawyers, investigators,
and advocates helping people face detention without trial, execution and extra
judicial execution. We are a small team but we are fearless in our fight for justice.
We work closely with our sibling organization, Reprieve, a UK charity founded in 1999.
Reprieve US uses strategic interventions to end the use of the death penalty globally
and to end extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism”
or “national security”.
About postgraduate fellowships:
For the past two decades, Reprieve and Reprieve US have used a fellowship model to
support and work with human rights defenders and their organizations in some of the
most challenging jurisdictions in the world – including Indonesia, Pakistan, Yemen,
Malawi and the US. Reprieve US’ fellowship program gives fellows the opportunity to
be directly involved in ground- breaking human rights work and to work with colleagues
and experts around the world. The work of our fellows enables Reprieve US and
partners to seize on strategic opportunities and develop projects that have the potential
to transform the criminal justice landscape. We have been fortunate to work with
brilliant fellows from schools across the US.
Reprieve US invites applicants for public interest fellowships beginning in 2026.
Fellowships are offered with a variety of teams, and full details are available on our

disbursement to fellows, who will join us as staff members. If an awarding body has a
