بقلوب مؤمنة بقضاء الله وقدره، ننعى الصديق العزيز #نبهان_الحنشي الذي انتقل إلى جوار ربه بعد معاناة مع المرض.

اللهم اغفر له وارحمه، وتعازينا الحارة لأسرته الكريمة، أعظم الله أجرهم وأحسن عزاءهم.

📕Read our factsheet on how the country’s overly broad definition of terrorism is used to target human rights defenders through judicial harassment, harsh prison sentences, and travel bans.

Today, we remember journalist Jamal Khashoggi, murdered 7 years ago for simply expressing his opinion.

Years have passed since his murder inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, yet justice remains unfulfilled.

His memory reminds us that the fight for accountability cannot end.
