Thread, thoughts on human rights advocacy: It’s interesting to me that when human rights violations occur - people are always like “well we need to shed light on it!”.. and in so many cases it gets documented, talked about, shared; and yet not much changes

In #Bahrain one of the things I learned in school was that when you love someone, you stay up til midnight to wish them happy birthday if their birthday was tomorrow. It just turned midnight in Bahrain, so Happy 60th Birthday baba. I love you

My father has spent 3,456 days in prison. That’s over 9 years. 3456 days deprived of his freedom, because he believes that the populations of the #GCC deserve basic rights and freedoms. 3456 days of memories we were robbed of creating with him. #Bahrain

I mention that she is black and Muslim because while all Muslims are targeted with #Islamophobia , black Muslims are subjected to the worst of it, because it isn’t just religious targeting, but racial as well. She should be released immediately #FreeMarziehHashemi #US

Typical.. First they complained not enuff Muslims in #Denmark vote - saying they weren’t “integrating” and such.. Now that many took part in the last elections, coverage in the media is “Muslim mobilization of voters creates concern of increased polarization” #smh #DKPol

You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't - suk! Vi burde hylde hver enkelt borger, der har taget del i demokratiet og afgivet deres stemme. Tak til alle, der har været med til at få stemmeprocenten til at stige blandt minoritetsetniske borgere - I er for seje!!!
