Thank you very much for the clarification. That's exactly right. The point we are trying to make is that it's not a personal preference of one term or the other but more about having inclusivity.
When we talk about prisoners of conscience, the mind goes to somebody who's detained and being imprisoned. When we talk about human rights defenders, we're talking about the broad spectrum of defenders. They can be journalists, indigenous leaders, business associates, youth or students. It's not about just what their custodial arrangement is. They could be facing any number of threats—intimidation, surveillance, etc. It goes beyond the narrower lens of detention and imprisonment.
