Privacy advocate combining litigation participation and core institutional support
Privacy International is the rights organisation named with Liberty in the March 2025 complaint concerning UK investigatory powers and encryption. The tribunal acknowledges the separate complaint and consideration of its written arguments; Oak's 2023 report separately lists support for its privacy work.
Liberty's 13 March 2025 announcement names Privacy International and two individuals as complainants. The April tribunal judgment acknowledges the filing and considers the organisations' open-justice arguments alongside other submissions. Oak's 2023 report lists a $1,138,554 three-year grant for privacy protections and safeguards against surveillance and data exploitation. It is a reported multi-year grant, not verified annual spending, cash receipt or an earmark for the later complaint.

The same original page26 lists three already relevant rights organisations: National Council for Civil Liberties (Liberty), USD783133/3years core support for public/policymaker human-rights work; Open Rights Group, USD437349/3years to support refugee/migrant-sector opposition to data collection/sharing and technologies driving immigration controls; and Privacy International, USD1138554/3years for privacy protections and safeguards against surveillance/data exploitation. These earlier awards strengthen the common-funder/divergent-intervention evidence. None is a verified earmark for the later TCN complaint or Statewatch/ORG letter. Do not calculate the litigation budget from these amounts or claim the June2026 DFF grant was the only possible prior source of resources.

Oak’s 2023 report records four three-year awards. Each arrow retains its own amount and purpose. No grant is allocated to the later complaint or a named classification decision.
