Deutsch: Neue EDRi-Mitglieder

At the EDRi General Assembly of 30 October 2010 in Barcelona, Spain, EDRi welcomed two new members.

The Panoptykon Foundation is a Polish organisation focusing on human rights, in particular the right to privacy, in the clash with modern technology used for surveillance purposes. The NGO wants to analyse the risks associated with the operation of modern surveillance systems, monitor the actions of both public and private entities and intervene when human rights or democratic values are threatened.

The Liga voor Mensenrechten (Human Rights League) has a focus on human rights in Belgium and a campaigner of privacy, including the organisation of the Big Brother Awards.

EDRi now has 29 members that are based or have offices in 18 different European countries, all within the territory of the Council of Europe.
