Who we Are
Corpus Sui — Latin for “One’s Own Body”
Corpus Sui z. s. is a registered non-profit civic association based in Prague, Czech Republic, operating across borders.
Corpus Sui is founded on the conviction that the body belongs to the individual—not to institutions, markets, or ideologies. It responds to a historical condition in which policy often lags behind lived experience, where medicine can become administrative machinery, and where vulnerable lives are managed, silenced, or overlooked.
We investigate places and practices that are often left unexamined—abandoned psychiatric wards, the black market for organs, undocumented end-of-life decisions, coercive medical treatments, and the fragile legality of abortion access. We document individuals misclassified, detained, or left to navigate systems that no longer see them.
We do not offer simplified narratives. We investigate, report, advocate, and disrupt. We engage in fieldwork, digital intelligence, public awareness, and policy pressure—operating across borders to track, expose, and challenge abuses of bodily autonomy wherever they occur.
Corpus Sui is an independent platform and think tank composed of bioethicists, medical anthropologists, open-source intelligence (OSINT) investigators, clinicians, artists, and frontline workers. Among us are psychiatric nurses, palliative caregivers, trauma counsellors, harm reduction advocates, and those supporting survivors of medical violence, bureaucratic neglect, or social abandonment.
What binds us is a clear position: that the body belongs to the individual. From this follows a refusal to look away, to remain silent, or to allow anyone to be lost in the spaces between law, medicine, and moral attention. Corpus Sui exists to document what others ignore—and to insist, consistently and without exception, that every body counts.
