"An anonymous online mob threatened Ibtissame (“Betty”) Lachgar with rape and murder because she spoke out for women’s rights, and they pressured prosecutors to file charges.

Their hate campaign got her thrown in prison where she’s been isolated in solitary confinement for five months. She could lose an arm, literally, but still the authorities are denying cancer treatment.
So let’s be louder than the bullies. Let’s raise our voices for love, not hate. Let’s speak out for Betty and for the rights of women everywhere.
Because public pressure works both ways, and King Mohammad of Morocco has freed prisoners of conscience before when faced with a global outcry -- including a woman imprisoned for having an abortion.
Sign now and we’ll launch a massive global wave of social media pressure in concert with Moroccan human rights defenders – making sure our message reaches the palace.

Bone cancer is eating away at Betty's body as she suffers in solitary confinement with no access to medical care. Let’s act now to help save her:

"UK police arrest Greta Thunberg under Terrorism Act":

Everyone from Britain's Prime Minister to the police officer who made this arrest disgraced himself and made the UK an object of ridicule. Greta's "crime" was holding a sign saying "I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide." That is free speech, not terrorism. King Charles should act to put an end a terrible injustice.

Я могу себе представить, что Андрей Котов покончил с собой и, даже, я бы хотел поздравить г-на Котова, что ему удалось покончить с собой с первого раза и прервать всё то растаптывание человеческого достоинства, с которым он столкнулся. Мне сложно представить, что я смог бы правильно порезать себя с первой попытки. #AndreyKotov #inducementtosuicide #suicide #news #prisonerofconscience #POC #LGBTQ #repressions #greatreaction
A conversation with Canada’s first ‘prisoner of conscience’

Amnesty International has given the distinction — extended to people incarcerated for their politics, religion, ethnicity or other personal or protected status — to Chief Dsta'hyl, a Wet'suwet'en hereditary chief arrested for his opposition to the Coastal Gaslink pipeline.

A reminder on #Navalny's #FarRight sympathies and how that may strip him of any recognition in life, or for that matter in death: #AmnestyInternational had originally stripped him of the appellation #prisonerofconscience because of his racist remarks in 2007/8. After an outcry, #Amnesty reinstated him , as they recognised that unlike #Putin, Navalny hadn't committed any crimes and only time would judge him. Unfortunately, he now will never be able to prove them right. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/press-release/2021/05/statement-on-alexei-navalnys-status-as-prisoner-of-conscience
Statement on Alexei Navalny’s status as Prisoner of Conscience

Navalny's are acts of conscience, and should be recognised as such.

Today is the 100th anniversary of the #ChineseCommunistParty ( #CCP ). The CCP is celebrating this day, and #SimoneGao interviewed #ChaoYu who knows what really happens under the #Communist Rule. #ChaoYu was educated at China’s top university, #TsinghuaUniversity, but ended up in China’s prison for almost 10 years as a #PrisonerOfConscience.
