Green and Black Cross is a solidarity organisation. We are not participants of the actions we support, nor do we campaign. We recognise the importance of campaigning against repressive policing, and therefore we are a participant group in the Network for Police Monitoring (Netpol).

We have a policy of not giving interviews or comment to journalists, and no legal observer, medic or person working with GBC can comment on behalf of the organisation.
