The State Department has a duty to get Mech Dara out of jail after using his work to (rightfully) sanction Ly Yong Phat therecord.media/cambodian-jour…

#freemechdara great reel here by Neil Loughlin about the political landscape and background to Dara’s arrest.

Just listed down how many "Good" media outlets / organizations covered Dara Mech 's unjustified arrest since this Monday, 30, Sep, 2024 till today. Hope this gives you some idea of how much everyday people with no connection to power or money are hoping his immediate release.

Thank you J. Daniel Sims for this galvanising piece. Legal/rights workers/jpirnalists, if court proceedings go ahead next week what can I/civillians do to help our friend Dara? #freemechdara #journalismisnotacrime

Great those discussions are taking place Samantha Power I hope action and pressure follow e.g. visa bans, sanctions Department of State in the name of Dara Mech who so many believe the US gov has a duty of care to call for D’s release and make true your words and intentions. #freemechdara

Will await news on the charges but for now, a relief! #freemechdara

Thank you Samantha Power 🙏

Here goes… I’m launching a crowd funder! It’s to get books/translations back to the book’s storytellers - the musicians, bands, fam’s- in Cambodia. And I’ll share this final chapter with you along the way. Please donate or share if you can’t donate 🙏 gofund.me/bc11fdf3

I would rather have been wrong.

I’m leaving shitter for a kinder, fairer Elon-Musk-free world over at Bluesky Social. I’ll be migrating some stuff over for the next week. You can then follow me there: bsky.app/profile/deepey… xx
