Two months later, @x is still running unlabelled advertisements in our "Following" feed.

We are staying away.

[York City Amnesty @YorkAmnesty]

.@x is showing advertisements without saying that they are advertisements.

It started at least seventeen days ago and is still happening.

We are leaving.

The @YorkAmnesty group worked for @AzzaSoliman1 after she faced imprisonment as part of #Case173 in #Egypt. The case against her was dropped and her passport was returned. Here she is visiting Amnesty friends in York!

[York City Amnesty @YorkAmnesty]

Good news about one of our friends!

We are relieved that researcher Patrick Zaki & human rights lawyer Mohamed el-Baqer are free & reunited with loved ones. They should have never spent a single day behind bars. High time for #Egypt to release the 1000s still in jail & end crackdown on dissent. #FreeThemAll

Good news from #Egypt:
Presidential pardons for student #PatrickZaki and human rights lawyer #MohamedElBaqer

Hoping that more human rights defenders get released soon
