APA, Associative Press Agency (Agence de Presse Associative) was launched at the start of 2002.
It is meant to address the lack of a french-speaking specialized news net focused on political prisoners throughout the world. APA collects extant but scattered pieces of information provided by first-hand sources (prisoners, associations, organizations). This database is available to all on APA’s website.
It aims at publicizing the political prisoners’ commitments and, beyond each specific situation, their causes or forms of action. That informative work also enables solidarity to materialize and to propel a dynamic between all participants.
In short, information is a weapon !
