That wasn’t easy, my love..
It was a tremendously marathon you carried through for 9 months and more.
Thank you for all that you give.

I have documented the most lovely story, a journey filled with joyful and dangerous surprises.
Sina.. Welcome to the world ❤️💕

[Jason Rezaian @jrezaian]

We followed the imprisonment and systematic silencing of the Egyptian photojournalist @ShawkanZeid for over a decade.

This week @wpfreedomdesk interviewed him as a free man.

Please read it, share it and support the next chapter of his journey.

بدخن سيجارة، وانفث هم الليالي..
هايم
سارح
بفكر ويَّ حالي..
يا دنيا؛
زي ما بتخدي مني ادّيني..
ولا تجوريش على قلبي البالي..

Finally, after almost 13 years. I AM FREE. I made it to Vienna with my wife and we are expecting a baby girl.
2019 was the year I walked from 24/7 prison into 12/7 prison a condition that lasted for 5 years. followed by 2 and half more years of being banned from traveling.
