Somalia is entering uncharted territory as the government's mandate expires tomorrow. At the same time, there is no political agreement in place on the way forward. The responsibility for this situation falls on the president and his administration. This is worrisome. I hope a last-minute deal is reached.

A journalist who covered the case of a woman who said she was being tortured in prison was detained and beaten with pistols by Somali authorities, along with two others, for his reporting for the Guardian. https://t.co/4UOlAlUdis

Two key questions in the Sadia Bajaaj case. After 31 days, Somalia’s Human Rights Commission acknowledged alleged abuse in detention but said it couldn't verify the claims,calling 4 an independent investigation. If the mandated body can't investigate, who will & why not verified?

[Abdirahman Abdishakur @AAbdishakur]

Thanks @sajajohnson for bringing international attention to the shocking case of Sadia Moalim unlawfully detained without charge, abused in prison, and punished simply for speaking the truth and exercising her fundamental rights.

At a time when fear, intimidation, and repression are increasingly being used to silence dissent, courageous journalism and global scrutiny matter more than ever. No government should be allowed to imprison, torture, or persecute citizens for expressing their views.

The administration of @HassanSMohamud must be held accountable for these grave violations of human rights and the rule of law. Silence in the face of injustice only emboldens further abuse. freedoms. @US2SOMALIA @UKinSomalia @EU_in_Somalia @SwedeninSomalia @UNTMIS_ @GermanyinSOM @amnesty @eu_echo @UN_HRC @hrw
