🚨 Bahrain must halt repressive amendments to its press law!

Misleading reforms, massive fines, and mandatory licensing will deepen censorship, not protect journalists.

We urge the Shura Council to reject these proposals.

Authoritarian regimes in the MENA increasingly use cybercrime & online content laws to restrict freedom of expression. MEDC's @yasminoviech.bsky.social recently sat down with @zaghdoudist.bsky.social to discuss how we can take back the virtual space.

Great piece on freedom of expression in armed conflict. Proud of my friend Chantal Joris for this deep and valuable contribution to the debate on this topic.

Cybercrime laws across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are being weaponized to stifle dissent + crush freedoms – going beyond combating real crimes. The new @UN Cybercrime treaty could legitimize these abuses.
