About CHR
In accordance with its charter, the Committee on Human Rights (CHR) works to gain the release of scientists, engineers, and health professionals who are unjustly imprisoned. Its caseload can range from 225 to as many as 300 or more. The CHR’s case-related efforts are pursued primarily through private means. When a case is successfully resolved, it is now being posted on this site. The CHR's occasional statements and reports reflect public efforts undertaken by the CHR after considerable private interventions have proved ineffective and the CHR—with the approval of the NAS Council and the presidents of the NAE and IOM—has decided that a more public effort should be made. Thus, although this site does not provide a comprehensive overview of the CHR's work, it does reflect the CHR's goals and a few of its accomplishments. [more]
