FREE SAAD RIAZ
I have known Saad (@hafizsaadriaz) for many years, and I can say with full confidence that he is not the kind of person these accusations make him out to be.
The case filed against him is completely false. The claim that he was "preaching Al-Qaeda" in a mosque and that an "Al-Qaeda Membership Card" was found on him is honestly ridiculous. Anyone who has ever met Saad knows that these charges are nothing but lies. It feels like this case has been made up just to shut him up.
Saad has always been someone who spoke up for people who are suffering. He raised his voice for the people of Gaza, Kashmir, Syria and all the Muslims around the world. He never spread hate or violence. He simply cared about human lives and was not afraid to say so.
That is exactly why what has happened to him is so wrong. A man who only ever spoke up for the oppressed has now been taken away by the very authorities who should be protecting people like him. He was picked up without any fair process and no one knows where he is. This is not justice. This is silence by force.
We are demanding his release right now. Keeping him locked away is not just wrong for him personally. It is wrong for every single person who believes in the right to speak the truth. #ReleaseSaad
