Today marks 7 years since I was banned from leaving Egypt. Authorities placed me “under investigation” over my human rights work in 2016 but ever since I have not been indicted or tried. I was denied the right to obtain or even view my travel ban decision /1

We were lucky enough to work with the talented @EssamAlSudani1 for “Under Poisoned Skies”. Some of the most striking images in the film were shot by Essam, like this drone of Nahran Omar - where residents live just 250m from toxic gas flaring.
