Saudi HRD Abdulrahman Al-Khalidi has spent over 3 years in detention in #Bulgaria.
He’s at risk of deportation to 🇸🇦 where prison, torture, or execution await. Yesterday, Saudi Arabia executed journalist Turki Al-Jasser for tweeting. #FreeAlKhalidi

1) I spoke at theEuropean Parliament to expose how #TransnationalRepression doesn’t stop at borders.
After 3 arrests in #Egypt, I was forced into exile. But the threats followed me to Beirut, Nairobi, Berlin, and most recently, Geneva, where I was targeted for working with the UN.

Die ägyptische Journalistin Rasha Qandil wurde für morgen zur Vernehmung vor der Staatssicherheitsanwaltschaft vorgeladen, nachdem sie eine Recherche zu Rüstungsdeals veröffentlicht hatte.
In Ägypten gilt Journalismus als Verbrechen – Fragen zum Militär sind tabu.

Egyptian journalist Rasha Qandil has been summoned to appear before State Security Prosecution tomorrow, after publishing an investigation into Egypt’s arms deals.
In Egypt, journalism is treated as a crime — and questions about the military are forbidden.
Journalism is not a crime.

Excited to speak this Thursday (May 15) at the Hertie School in Berlin.
I’ll be sharing thoughts on exile, press censorship, and transnational repression — from the perspective of a journalist and human rights defender in exile from the Global South.

د. ليلى سويف تواصل لليوم ١٣١ إضرابها عن الطعام، تصارع من أجل حرية ابنها علاء عبد الفتاح. منذ أكثر من ٤ أشهر، تعتمد فقط على الماء والمشروبات الدافئة بلا سكر، بينما تواصل السلطات المصرية تجاهل معاناتها.
لا يجب أن تنتهي هذه القصة بمأساة. أنقذوا ليلى سويف. أفرجوا عن علاء عبد الفتاح.

Enforced disappearances violate international law, including the UN Convention on Enforced Disappearance (UNGA Res. 61/177, 2006). In Egypt, such cases have surged since Sisi took power.
