In response to a Pride sit-in, the police were called and used excessive force, including tear gas, against the peaceful protestors. They arrested at least 23 students – including Melike and Özgür. Despite exercising their right to peaceful protest, 18 students are on trial.

Hey @JustinTrudeau & @FP_Champagne I want to tell you about Nassima al-Sada @nasema33, a #Saudi activist jailed since 2018 for demanding the right to drive. Will you urge @KingSalman to release her? #UnmuteSaudiVoices #G20RiyadhSummity

In May 2017, Popi Qwabe and Bongeka Phungula were heading for a night out. At some point that evening, the pair hailed a taxi. They were not heard from again.

Popi and Bongeka had been shot dead and dumped by the side of a road.

Three years later and still no investigation.

Nassima was arrested for her peaceful human rights work in July 2018. While in jail, she was ill-treated. She was placed in a cell alone, in complete isolation from other detainees from February 2019 to February 2020.

Tell Saudi Arabia to free Nassima now.

It was November 13th 2019. Idris was on his way home from the capital, Islamabad, when his rented car was stopped. He hasn’t been seen since. In Pakistan, the authorities use enforced disappearance to silence human rights defenders like Idris, and other critics as well.

In 2019, Paing Phyo Min and other Peacock Generation members were arrested after performing Thangyat dressed as soldiers. During the performance, they said the military was desperate to hang on to power, and was bankrupting the country while its generals accumulated wealth.
