Two months have passed since Alaa Abd el-Fattah completed his five-year sentence in Egypt.
His mother Laila Soueif has been on hunger strike ever since to protest his ongoing and arbitrary detention.
The need to #FreeAlaa has never been more urgent.

Jimmy Lai’s prosecution is a blatant attempt to silence his voice and dismantle Hong Kong’s independent press. As we mark the Day of the #ImprisonedWriter, we stand in solidarity with Jimmy Lai and call on the Hong Kong authorities to release him immediately and unconditionally. Will you join us? https://t.co/vcwdBQzGik

Jimmy Lai has spent nearly four years in solitary confinement, targeted for his journalism and pro-democracy activism in #HongKong.

Tonight, PEN Canada is honoured to present him, in absentia, with the One Humanity Award.

General Min Aung Hlaing and his illegal and illegitimate military junta are waging war against the people of #Myanmar. They belong in handcuffs at the International Criminal Court. 🇲🇲

The weapons that #Myanmar’s military junta uses against civilians and resistance groups are not manufactured inside the country. They are imported from abroad. A global embargo on arms and aviation fuel would save lives. Who is upholding their responsibilities? 🇲🇲⬇️ #R2P
