Dawit Isaak is the world's longest detained journalist. We will not stop calling for his release. #PressFreedom

23 years, 10 months & 16 days — and still counting!
That’s how long 🇪🇷🇸🇪 journalist Dawit Isaak has been forcibly disappeared in Eritrea, a regime notorious for torture, arbitrary detention & total repression. Dawit is a victim of one of the world’s most brutal dictatorships, & just as merciless is the silence that has met his disappearance. Sweden watches. The world watches.
While an award-winning journalist languishes in a cell, unseen, unheard, forgotten. Nearly 24 years of silence & inaction. How much longer must this go on? #FreeDawit @SwedishPM @MariaStenergard @SweMFA @AmnestySverige @amnesty @pressfreedom @RSF_inter @FreeDawit @pen_int @PEN_Ertra @TheRWCHR @LantosFndn @RSF_RUG @Tunback @Europarl_EN @EP_President @EUCouncil @EritreaMfa @bergersus @eu_eeas @UNHumanRights @UN_HRC @EvaMariaHall @Danait4 @BietelhemI @KurdoBaksi @esayasisaak @Edelstam
