It is currently headquartered in Berlin, aiming to be a voice for the victims of enforced disappearances in Saudi Arabia, including victims of arbitrary detention, execution, extrajudicial killing, torture, enforced disappearance, discrimination, as well as victims of statelessness. All these victims and others have rights that are inviolable and not subject to compromise in any form.

Objectives:

The European Saudi Organization for Human Rights aims to improve the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia. To achieve this goal, it works on documenting cases of victims and advocating for them through all available means.

Additionally, the organization is concerned with highlighting the presence of victims or their families in various events.

Activities:
