No one should face life in prison for printing the truth. Jimmy Lai stood for Hong Kongers' rights, even when he knew it could cost him his freedom. His unwavering commitment to the values of democracy and free speech should inspire us all. #FreeJimmyLai #JimmyLaiTrialWatch

This is fantastic news for Nahid and her daughter Mariam Mariam Claren #FreeNahid , lets hope this is a step closer to getting her released permanently, heaven knows it’s long overdue. GermanForeignOffice & All about Germany | deutschland.de must make this a reality. #FreePoliticalPrisonersinIran #EndHostageDiplomacy

Today 24 countries, members of Media Freedom Coalition, have issued a statement expressing deep concern regarding media freedom in #HongKong .

Seit 600 Tagen befindet sich die Französin #CecileKohler im Isolationstrakt 209 des Evin Gefängnis. Die Lehrerin ist ein weiteres Opfer der Geiseldiplomatie. Pures Versagen der französischen Regierung für #FreeCecile

Cécile Kohler n'a pas pu passer Noël avec ses proches et sa famille. Nous pensons à elle en captivité et souhaitons que 2024 soit l'année de son retour. #FreeCecileKohler #LibertéPourCécile #FreeThemAll #Iran

Wie in den letzten 3 Jahren auch wird heute Abend ein Platz an unserem Tisch leer bleiben. An Feiertagen fehlt sie uns besonders. Ich wünsche allen die feiern frohe Weihnachten und allen andern schöne Feiertage. #freenahid

To mark our 20th anniversary next year we will be hosting a fundraising event in London on Thursday 7 March 2024 with #TerryWaite #JohnMcCarthy #JudithTebbutt and Anoosheh Ashoori. Please join us if you can: bit.ly/3NpHEH8

Having gone through near impossible hoops & bounds & years of torment for my husband to get his citizenship (still work in progress) its sad to know families have to now fear being thrown out of the country on top of all other traumas . James Cleverly🇬🇧

An excerpt from Sydney Peace Foundation 🕊️ prize acceptance speech.
After consulting with dissidents in Iran, my reluctance to accept turned into a sense of duty to use this moment to center them on the world stage. This belongs to them. Full event youtube.com/watch?v=O3Ojkq… #WomanLifeFreedom
