since Saturday.
They bullied her, allow haters to attack her online, then they created legal cases against her, BUT but she stayed & kept speaking out against their human rights violations. Now

Dear activist risking your life challenging war criminals, we are sorry to let you know that you didnt get enough “likes” to survive the completion! Usher didnt cry when you presented your tragedy either. So you can die in prison silently, or shouting in the Mediterranean.
Another girl mercilessly killed in front of our eyes by the patriarchy's "honor"
Ediah Alhamoudi, 16 years old girl from Hasakah, was executed by men of her family on record! "Don't miss her head"! one of them shouted. Ediah refused to marry her cousin & tried to ran away.

#Syria
When I was going back to
#Syria
during the war, my mother used not to wash my bed-sheets and pillow case, to save my smell, if I get killed.
It's surreal that I am now safe in London while she is horrified, roaming the streets of Gaziantep, her "refuge" city away from our war.
She ran away from her abusive family, applied for asylum in the
#UK
then withdrew it to come back to
#Qatar
believing the promises of her government that she'll be protected. They handed her over to her family instead. Human rights defender Noof AlMaadeed is reportedly murdered.
And the real pain will only hit when the crisis stars to fade away..

Another war has started.
Same criminals, witnesses & handicapped international community.

Unbelievable courage by

to stay in this space despite the unprecedented hateful comments and attacks. Online spaces are already sexiest & toxic. Without Rana and the other kick-ass women’s presence, these platforms will be pure hell.

Dear foreign journalists covering the

please remember:
1.Local journalists are not your free of charge fixers, if you are asking for their sources include their names in the bylines next to yours
2. The security of the locals are more important than your story
The scenes in Antakya today. As if 30 barrel bombs have hit the small warm city, which was the first destination
