About ICAF
The International Committee for Artists' Freedom (ICAF) was formed in 1978 by the governing Council of Equity the UK performers' union. The ICAF was, and continues to be, made up of individuals representing all sectors of the acting profession who, while offering a diversity of knowledge and experience, share the same commitment – to campaign on behalf of overseas artists facing oppression and emergency aid situations.Since its inception, ICAF has taken up the causes of artists and groups of artists from many countries all around the world who have faced either censorship, exile, persecution, imprisonment, torture or even death. Each case is assessed individually, impartially and apolitically and all decisions taken are based purely on professional and humanitarian considerations.
