What this group's discussing (5)
Just an update on the situation of Mohammed Abbou. He was allowed to travel to France on 8th June. On 9th June he participated in a press conference organised by AI France regarding the launch of the French version of the report Challenging Repression;Human Rights Defenders in the Middle East and North Africa.
Subsequently he travelled to Brussels where he met with the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, members of the European Parliament and the European Commision on Human Rights.
Regrettably since his return to Tunisia he has been subjected to a smear campaign in the Tunisian press ( a tactic used by the government against other human rights defenders).
I am the Tunisa Country Coordinator and also the North Africa Regional Coordinator at AI(UK) which are both voluntary roles. I am also a member of the Croydon group.
Hi Laura,
I have just seen your comment so sorry for the delay in replying. If you would like to do work on Tunisia please contact me on beverley.foulkes-jones@amnesty.org.uk and i will put you on the North Africa Region's mailing list. We produce an ezine every 4 months with lots of information about human rights in Tunisia and North Africa and with actions you can take.
I look forward to hearing from you and anyone else who is interested in working on North Africa.
Tunisia Country Coordinator
This is a great achievement, but like in Abbou's case, I believe there are hundreds of similar cases in Tunisia. How can we help people in similar situations? Does Amnesty have actions that I can take and I should be aware of? Thx, L.
My personal highlight was journalist Khurmat Babadjanov from the Uzbek Service of Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty. What an inspiration.
The situation in Uzbekistan is so appaling it's unbelievable. My heart goes out to those who are imprisoned for speaking out, those who have to live in exile and their families
