Today is the birthday of former @IndexCensorship colleague Andrei Aliaksandrau and he is spending it in jail in #Belarus, a 'guest' of dictator Alyaksandr Lukashenka. I spoke to his friends for this article to mark his birthday #FreeAndreiAndIrina indexoncensorship.org/2023/0…
In 2018, Salma al-Shehab tweeted to wish the families of imprisoned women human rights defenders joy and safety. Now she is imprisoned for speaking out, I wish her the same and call for her release #FreeSalma
In these words, #SaudiArabia sees a crime. I do not, I see someone standing up for basic human rights for women. Salma al-Shehab was arrested two years ago today and should be released immediately #FreeSalma

Salma al-Shehab was sentenced to 34 years in prison for tweeting in support of the 47 women of the 6 Nov 1990 driving ban protest in #SaudiArabia. Two years on from her arrest I stand in solidarity with her and demand her release #FreeSalma
Salma al-Shehab was arrested two years ago today for tweeting her support for prisoners of conscience including Loujain al-Hathloul. I believe no crime has been committed and I call on #SaudiArabia to release her without delay #FreeSalma
