Public Notice: Support for Journalists Haitham Al-Makki and Hesham Al-Sanoussi
In defense of freedom of expression and the press, the Nefas Movement expressed its full solidarity with journalists Haitham Al-Mekki and Hisham Al-Sanousi, both of whom have been sentenced to imprisonment—one for one year and the other for six months—due to social media posts and criticisms directed at the authorities. It also emphasized the necessity of freeing all political prisoners and stopping the use of the judiciary to target media professionals and critics. The movement strongly condemned the smear campaigns and incitement efforts that threaten press freedom and the public’s right to access information. Furthermore, it called for the completion of the formation of the Higher Audiovisual Communication Authority and the review of appointments of heads of media institutions to ensure the independence and transparency of the sector. It reaffirmed that freedom of the press is a fundamental right of society, closely linked to democracy and human rights.
