@EgyptEmbassyUSA @MotazZahran Hoda Abdelmoniem has been arbitrarily detained for over three years, related to her human rights work. On November 1, 2018, National Security Agency forces broke into her house in Cairo, at 1:30 am, ransacked it, and took her away blindfolded. She

was disappeared for three weeks after her arrest until she was brought to the Supreme State Security Prosecution for investigation. After she spent 35 months in pre-trial detention, she was charged with joining, financing, and supporting a “terrorist group” and disseminating

news on social media accusing the security forces of human rights violations through a Facebook page in order to incite violence against state institutions. These charges are linked to her work with the Egyptian Coordination for Rights and Freedoms, which documents enforced

@Iran_UN @TakhtRavanchi Two students, Ali Younesi, aged 21, and Amirhossein Moradi, aged 22, are arbitrarily detained in section 209 of Tehran’s Evin prison. Following their arrest in April 2020, they were held in solitary confinement for 60 days in violation of the absolute

prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment. Ali Younesi revealed to his family that he had been denied adequate healthcare for injuries to his left eye sustained during beatings by Military of Intelligence agents and that lights in his cell were turned on 24 hours a day,

which left him with no sense of day or night. Amirhossein Moradi also reported being beaten harshly during his arrest.

Ministry of Intelligence agents repeatedly interrogated these two university students, without their lawyers present and forced them to make “confessions,” in

@DiazCanelB @EmbaCubaUS @lianystr Hundreds of people remain detained for peacefully protesting in Cuba, including during the mass demonstrations on July 11, 2021. The cases of prisoners of conscience Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, José Daniel Ferrer García, Esteban Rodríguez,

and Maykel Castillo Pérez represent only a tiny fraction of the total number of people who are detained solely because of their political, religious, or other beliefs without having used or advocated violence.

All prisoners of conscience must be immediately and unconditionally

released. Activists, independent journalists, and human rights defenders must be free to do their jobs, without being subjected to surveillance or arrest.

@AlsisiOfficial @EgyptEmbassyUSA ; @MotazZahran Ahmed Samir Santawy, started a hunger strike on June 23, 2021 in protest over his unjust conviction by an Emergency State Security Court. He was convicted of publishing “false news to undermine the state, its national interests and

public order and spread panic among the people” and sentenced to four years imprisonment on the basis of social media posts, criticizing human rights violations in Egyptian prisons and the state’s mishandling of the pandemic, that he denied writing. Regardless who wrote the

posts, everyone has the right to freedom of expression as guaranteed by the Egyptian constitution, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to which Egypt is a state party.

@ChineseEmbinUS @AmbCuiTiankai Rinchen Tsultrim (仁青持真), a Tibetan Monk was sentenced to four years and six months imprisonment in March 2020 without any trial.

Rinchen Tsultrim’s family members only learned about his sentence when the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous

Prefecture Public Security Bureau informed them in March 2021 that he was in a prison in Chengdu. Rinchen Tsultrim is apparently imprisoned due to his expression of his political views on his WeChat account and personal website. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and

other international covenants, guarantee everyone the right to peaceful expression of their beliefs.
