   Salma al-Shehab has been released after 4 years of unjust imprisonment for speaking out online. Her “crime”? Supporting prisoners of conscience and women human rights defenders. The EFF has called for her freedom since 2022, alongside a global coalition. #FreeSalma https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/10/global-coalition-calls-uk-foreign-secretary-secure-release-salma-al-shehab (1/2)

     Held arbitrarily for nearly a year, sentenced to 34 years in prison, and banned from travel for 34 more. This is a chilling reminder of the cost of standing up for human rights and freedom of expression online. Her release is a victory—but the fight for justice continues. (2/2)
