What evidence is most effective for proving political motivation to the CCF?

The CCF evaluates objective indicators rather than subjective claims. Effective evidence includes documentation of your political activities, media coverage linking your prosecution to government criticism, reports from organisations like Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch concerning the requesting country’s judicial system, and evidence that co-defendants or associates face similar charges. Timing is critical: prosecutions initiated shortly after political disputes or business conflicts with state-connected entities suggest abuse. Prior asylum decisions, UNHCR communications, or European Court of Human Rights judgments against the requesting state significantly strengthen the submission.
