@AlsisiOfficial Mohamed Baker is a human rights lawyer. He is in prison for defending some of the most marginalized people in Egypt. In September 2019, he went to the prosecutor’s office to defend his friend and was himself arrested. Authorities never put him on trial. Instead,
they made false, terrorism-related accusations against him and threw him in jail – all because they disagreed with his work as head of the Adalah Center for Rights and Freedoms, which supports human rights and those unjustly jailed. Baker was never put on trial. Instead he
remains in prison, where authorities are confining him to his cell around the clock and refusing him a bed, mattress, books, newspapers – even family photos.
Defending people’s freedoms should not cost him his own. Mohamed Baker should be released immediately and

Mikita Zalatarou, a now 17 year-old. Mikita was waiting for a friend on the street in Homel when he was swept into a crowd of protesters on August 10, 2020. The following day – August 11– police officers came to Mikita’s door. They arrested him, beating and accusing him of
throwing a Molotov cocktail towards two officers the night before. While holding him in custody, they beat him with an electric shock truncheon. Officers interrogated him without a lawyer or responsible adult present, and locked him up for six months before putting him on trial.
Mikita was convicted of mass disorder and using illegal explosives, yet video evidence did not show him taking part in violence. Media reports on the demonstrations mentioned no mass unrest. Still, the judge sentenced Mikita to five years in a child educational prison colony.
@TaliaKhattak @shumaisa77 I have read of, and admire your father. I also admire your courage and determination to win his freedom.
I understand that he is an avid reader. He will need to relax when he is released (I have faith!). My favorite book of all is Watership Down.

Again, I look forward to the freedom of your father, IDRIS KHATTAK.

@rbalsaud Nassima al-Sada was arrested in July 2018 for her peaceful human rights work. I fear that She has been tortured in jail. She was put in solitary confinement for a year. Even now, her only contact with the outside world is a single weekly phone call. She is denied
visits with her family and lawyer. Why doesn't Saudi Arabia present Nassima al-Saud as an example of a 21st century Saudi woman? She is someone to be admired, not persecuted! She has spent her life working to improve women's lives, and seeking the freedom for them to
take an active part in Saudi society. News reports, here in the United States, for the last few years, gave the impression that Saudi Arabia was granting women more of their rights. The example always given was the right to drive. Imagine readers shock, to learn that the women
Sometimes it takes a woman to change the world.
