The SIR project is a European research project carried out in five Member States of the European Union (Croatia, France, Hungary Malta and Spain), under the coordination of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee based in Hungary, in partnership with Aditus, Fair Trials Europe, Human Rights House Zagreb and Rights International Spain.
