Dear friends, A while ago I already posted this request on FOIANet, but only got few replies, so I was hoping if anyone else to help me with out. We are looking to create public incentive to use FOIA here in Russia, and we decided to distribute a booklet with success stories that the Russian public can relate to, together with examples of how requesting information can make a difference here. Therefore I am appealing to you all if anyone would like to share with us any really important and relatable successes that have been made in their own country or elsewhere. For example, but not exclusively, cases that provoked a response from the public (e.g. corruption, pollution, tax money,...). We already collected cases from around the world, but looking for a lot more so any suggestions would be more than welcome! Thank you very much for your contributions!
