This is a horrendous case: an Irish national, an anti-corruption activist, imprisoned unjustly in #Iraq . This could not be more urgent.

Laura Wickham Laura wickham, wife of Yasser Eljuboori Yasser Eljuboori, has tonight launched a campaign to #FreeYasser2024 . Please support & share.

My comments to BBC News (UK) on death of Alexey Navalny. He didn't die. He was killed by #Putin . We need to turn our focus on Vladimir Kara-Murza and get him out of #Russia prison. Same for #JimmyLai in #HongKong . Impose penalties to PR firms, law firms etc who prop up Russian biz and oligarchs.

What a great campaign by Axel Springer SE Freedom Foundation. ‘Give freedom an address: rename the streets in front of the embassies of authoritarian regimes.’

They’re seeking support to rename the street outside the Chinese embassy to
Jimmy-Lai-Straße.
