The dangers of an authoritarian regime don’t end with liberation or exile—no place is ever completely safe, though some are safer than others. Living in constant fear undermines recovery, making it essential to rebuild a sense of safety. Physical security is not just protection—it’s the foundation for healing and moving forward.
Through its Political Prisoners Support Team, WLC offers support via online sessions to help strengthen this process.
You can also download the After Liberation Handbook for free on the WLC website.

Four years ago, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
This war is not only about borders — it is about sovereignty, democracy, and the right of a nation to choose its own future.
World Liberty Congress stands with Ukraine and with all those defending freedom against authoritarian aggression.

For freedom fighters around the world, Berlin represents more than history. It stands as proof that repression is not permanent, that authoritarian systems can crumble, and that solidarity across borders can change the course of nations.
We are proud to share that the World Liberty Congress is joining the Berlin Freedom Society, a coalition uniting public and private stakeholders to strengthen Berlin as a welcoming hub for activists, dissidents, and defenders of democracy worldwide.
Together with our partners in Berlin, we are committed to supporting those who work to ensure that more walls — both visible and invisible — fall everywhere.

The World Liberty Congress is honored to receive the 2026 Noble Prize – Guardian of Democracy Award at The World Forum 2026 in Berlin.

We would like to dedicate this to the million political prisoners and would like to affirm our mission: to stand firmly as guardians of liberty and democratic values everywhere.

Three years ago, Félix Maradiaga, President of the World Liberty Congress, was released after more than 600 days in prison for standing up to authoritarianism in Nicaragua. His release came as part of a mass expulsion: on February 9, 2023, the Ortega-Murillo regime freed 222 political prisoners, only to banish them from the country and strip them of their citizenship — an act widely described as unprecedented in Latin America.
For Félix — and for so many former political prisoners around the world — freedom remains incomplete. Detention and silence were followed by statelessness and forced exile, denying them the right to return home or reclaim their identity.
His story is not unique. Across the globe, authoritarian regimes replace prison walls with exile, releasing political prisoners only to leave them stateless, separated from their families, and deprived of their most basic rights.
Freedom is not just walking out of a cell. It is having a country, an identity, the right to return home, and the ability to rebuild life without fear. Today is not a celebration. It is a reminder: Release is not freedom.

The World Liberty Congress condemns the arbitrary arrest of our member, Sarah Bireete—a respected Ugandan lawyer and Executive Director of the Centre for Constitutional Governance—reportedly taken into custody without disclosed charges.
Coming at a moment of heightened political tension ahead of Uganda’s upcoming elections, her detention raises urgent concerns about escalating repression and the intimidation of independent civic voices.
We are equally alarmed by reports that the authorities have publicly listed other WLC members and allied human rights defenders, placing them at heightened risk of abduction, arrest, and harassment in the days and months ahead.
WLC calls for Ms. Bireete’s immediate release, full access to counsel and due process, and an end to the targeting of human rights defenders and pro-democracy advocates in Africa—and we urge Ugandan authorities to ensure free, fair, and peaceful elections in which all citizens can participate without fear.

At the Nobel Peace Prize events, WLC co-founder Masih Alinejad met with Venezuelan leader and laureate María Corina Machado — two women united in their fight against tyranny.
Their meeting is a reminder that the struggle for liberty transcends borders — and that when freedom fighters unite, authoritarianism trembles.
“Wounded but unbowed to dictators. From Venezuela to Iran, we become freedom.”

Today, on #InternationalHumanRightsDay, we remember that for millions, rights remain a promise, not a reality. Across continents, people risk their lives to resist tyranny.
We stand with women whose rights are attacked for daring to lead, speak, and demand equality. We demand the release of all political prisoners, whose rights are violated every day.
No voice should be punished for speaking truth. Every person deserves freedom. Every right must be defended. Human rights belong to all — and their defense begins with you.

From the World Liberty Congress, we unequivocally condemn the cruelty committed by the Maduro regime in the case of Alfredito Díaz, a former governor and political prisoner whose death in custody reflects the regime’s ongoing brutality. Denied the medical attention he desperately needed, Díaz was left to die inside El Helicoide, the biggest torture center in Latin America.
His death is a stark reminder of the systemic abuses suffered by countless political detainees. We urge the international community to demand the immediate release of all political prisoners in Venezuela and around the world, and to stand firm in defending human rights, freedom, and justice worldwide.

In a landmark moment for internal accountability, WLC members in Berlin elected a new Leadership Council and Executive Council — proving our commitment to democratic values not only in our mission, but in our internal practice.
For many of our members, this was the first truly free vote of their lives, a right denied to them in their own countries.
These elections are more than a procedure — they are a powerful act of defiance and a glimpse of the future we are fighting for.
