📍Journalist Luis Horacio Najera, human rights lawyer Doaa Mustafa, former professor and women’s rights activist Shabnam Salehi, and activist-journalist Diary Marif were each forced to flee their homelands after being targeted for their courageous work defending human rights and democracy. 📍They were respected professionals in their fields — leading voices in journalism, law, education, and activism. But their commitment to truth and justice made them targets of repression. 📍For them, Canada represents safety, dignity, and the hope to rebuild their lives and continue their work in exile. 🚨🚨🚨Canada must continue to be a place where human rights defenders are protected, valued, and empowered to keep making a difference. @Najera13 @diary_khalid @shabnam_salehi #ActivistsInExile #HumanRights #FreedomOfExpression #RefugeInCanada

In this @newlinesmag piece, I explore why Iraq’s path, despite its post-2003 challenges, offers valuable lessons for Syria to pursue. How can Syria emulate Iraq’s successes while avoiding its pitfalls? newlinesmag.com/spotlight/iraq…
