7amleh is deeply concerned about the arrest of journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin over social media posts made at the start of the war & calls on Kuwaiti authorities to immediately release him.
Ahmed has been detained since March 2 without formal charges & with limited access to legal counsel, raising concerns about due process & the protection of fundamental rights.
His detention reflects a broader regional trend of suppressing press freedom & mirrors the realities Palestinians face.
