Great Erin Burnett OutFront interview with reunited couple Evgenia Kara-Murza & recently released political prisoner Vladimir Kara-Murza on a personal and an historic win. Yet, with over a thousand political prisoners left behind in #Russia... "The fight will have to continue." - Evgenia Kara-Murza

If you know who you are and what you stand for, they cannot humiliate you. Here is Masih Alinejad đŸłïž transmuting the IRGC's ridiculous attempt at a smear campaign into humour and power- yet another act of witchy defiance! Being an activist takes magic! đŸ§™â€â™€ïž đŸȘ„ 🌾

Moving insight from our friend and Senior Fellow Vladimir Kara-Murza: "We must not let this become an exception — and we must not rest until the others who are unjustly imprisoned by Putin’s dictatorship are home and reunited with their families, too." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/

Devastated by Hamas' execution of 6 innocent hostages in Gaza's tunnels. Any hope their families carried is extinguished. We stand with all hostage families in demanding the unconditional release of all hostages now. #BringThemHomeNow

Deeply pained and horrified at the brutal murder by Hamas of six Israeli #hostages abducted during Hamas’s mass atrocities on Oct. 7th. May their memory be for a blessing.

The disturbing backsliding of #democracy and #mediafreedom in #HongKong continues, exemplified by the case and cause of Support Jimmy Lai #FreeJimmyLai. He must be released and the perpetrators of these injustices and their enablers must be held to account. wsj.com/opinion/hong-k
