	<p>Through the Religious Prisoners of Conscience (RPOC) Project, USCIRF Commissioners advocate for the release of individuals imprisoned for their religious belief/non-belief, religious activity, religious freedom advocacy, and other related issues. The project seeks to raise public awareness of these prisoners, reduce the overall number of prisoners in captivity, and highlight religious freedom conditions in their country of imprisonment. RPOCs represented in the project are only a snapshot of the thousands of religious prisoners of conscience around the globe as exhibited in USCIRF’s Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) Victims List.</p>

<p>Prisoners included in the RPOC Project are part of USCIRF’s FoRB Victims List, a database that documents individuals who have been detained, imprisoned, disappeared, tortured, placed under house arrest, or subjected to forced renunciation of faith for their religion or belief in countries USCIRF recommends for designation by the U.S. Department of State as Countries of Particular Concern (CPCs) or for placement on its Special Watch List (SWL), as well as in countries USCIRF recommends nonstate actors for designation as Entities of Particular Concern (EPCs). Learn more about the FoRB Victims List here.</p>
