This month marked one year since Azerbaijani journalist and Free Press Awards 2025 winner Ulviyya Guliyeva was arrested. FPU calls for her immediate release. Ulviyya: “We continue to reclaim the truth, even from behind bars.” #JournalismIsNotACrime
🚨 Today is #WorldPressFreedomDay. Press freedom is being systematically undermined. From restrictive laws introduced in the name of national security to the abusive lawsuits designed to silence critical voices, the space for independent journalism is shrinking. #WPFD #JournalismIsNotaCrime
Kuwait: #FreeAhmed now. Bsky peeps: Please sign the petition demanding @[email protected]'s release. We're now approaching 10k signatures! #JournalismIsNotACrime

@theguardian.com reports that Ahmed was arrested in Kuwait for reporting on the friendly fire incident that resulted in the crash of an F-15E Strike Eagle. Ahmed is a US citizen and the US State Department should be doing everything in its power to get him released NOW. #journalismisnotacrime

Detention of journalist in Kuwait raises questions about crackdown on freedom of speech

Ahmed Shihab-Eldin was arrested after reporting on friendly fire incident during US conflict with Iran

The Guardian
My friend Ahmed Shihab-Eldin has been detained in Kuwait. He's a veteran journalist who spent many years at Al Jazeera English; he's also a US citizen. This is absolutely intolerable and he must be released immediately. #FreeAhmed #JournalismIsNotACrime

nulla poena sine lege (lat.) – keine Strafe ohne Gesetz. Diesen jur. Grundsatz hielt ich in Deutschland und der EU bisher für gesichert. Das gilt nicht mehr. Es gilt jetzt das Gegenteil: poena sine crimine (lat.), Strafe ohne Tat. Wird gerade gegen Journalisten angewendet und von der Bundesregierung gestützt. Das ist ein Kennzeichen von Rechtsmissbrauch und Unterdrückung, also einem demokratischen Rechtsstaat unwürdig. Das sollten wir nicht tolerieren.
