At HuMENA, we’re fighting to keep public space open, loud, and untamed. Because without protest, there is no freedom — only silence. Learn more about our work defending the right to peaceful assembly: www.humena.org #FoPA #WeProtest #DefendFoPA #CivicSpace #HumanRights #HuMENA #MENA 🕊

They shut down streets, We build movements. They criminalize protests, We defend the right to speak, gather, and resist. Because freedom of peaceful assembly is not a privilege to be granted, it is a right to be claimed.

🇱🇧 In #Lebanon, sectarian identity defines access to citizenship and speech. Mainstream media reinforce this exclusion by marginalizing refugees & Palestinians. Outlets like Megaphone & Daraj have countered these narratives, especially during the Gaza war, with rights-based, critical coverage.

#لبنان 🇱🇧 | في لبنان، تُستخدم الهوية لإقصاء اللاجئين والمهمّشين، عبر نظام طائفي يعيد تعريف المواطَنة وحدود التعبير. الإعلام التقليدي يُعيد إنتاج هذا الإقصاء، بينما تقابل منصات مثل درج وميغافون الرواية السائدة بخطاب ناقد، خاصة خلال حرب غزة.

📍غزة | رغم وضوح الأدلة وتكرار التحذيرات، لا يمكن النظر إلى حرمان أكثر من مليونين من المدنيين في غزة من الغذاء والماء والرعاية الصحية كحدث عرضي. بل هو استراتيجية ممنهجة تؤدي إلى عواقب إنسانية متوقعة.

Continued silence is incompatible with international legal obligations and undermines the responsibility of state parties to the Geneva Conventions.

📍 Gaza | Despite clear evidence and repeated warnings, the ongoing deprivation of food, water, and medical care from over two million civilians in Gaza cannot be seen as incidental. It is a deliberate strategy with foreseeable humanitarian consequences.

This case reflects a broader pattern: 🔹 Targeting families of detainees 🔹 Silencing dissent through judicial harassment 🔹 Using vague laws like #Decree54 to suppress civic voices

Rather than investigate ill-treatment claims, authorities targeted Ramlah, violating Tunisia’s international obligations & the UN Declaration on #HumanRightsDefenders. This shows a clear abuse of the law for political retaliation.

The sentence stems from #Decree54 of 2022, now routinely used to punish expression and criminalize solidarity with political detainees. Her sister, #SoniaDahmani, is a lawyer and a political prisoner since May 2025.
