1️⃣ On 18 September 2025 at 17:00 Berlin time, I received threatening WhatsApp messages on my new German number. The messages contained explicit sexual insults, direct threats of violence, and attempts to intimidate me by suggesting a wide network was protecting the senders.

My recent interview with @ishr.ch about #TransnationalRepression and what should be done. When safety becomes conditional, so does democracy. We don’t need more praise — we need protection. We don’t need to be admired for our resilience — we need systems that prevent violence in the first place.

1) I spoke at theEuropean Parliament to expose how #TransnationalRepression doesn’t stop at borders. After 3 arrests in #Egypt, I was forced into exile. But the threats followed me to Beirut, Nairobi, Berlin, and most recently, Geneva, where I was targeted for working with the UN.

Yesterday at @re-publica.com I spoke about how authoritarian regimes silence dissent abroad. We call on Germany to act: create a trusted contact point, provide trauma-informed support, hold perpetrators accountable, and restrict surveillance tech. #TransnationalRepression #republica25

Unser #rp25 Recap: Vielen Dank für den bisherigen Austausch und die vergangenen zwei Tage. Ihr könnt uns auch noch morgen am Stand D1 direkt am Eingang finden. Auf einen spannenden letzten Tag der re:publica #2025!

Die ägyptische Journalistin Rasha Qandil wurde für morgen zur Vernehmung vor der Staatssicherheitsanwaltschaft vorgeladen, nachdem sie eine Recherche zu Rüstungsdeals veröffentlicht hatte. In Ägypten gilt Journalismus als Verbrechen – Fragen zum Militär sind tabu.

Egyptian journalist Rasha Qandil has been summoned to appear before State Security Prosecution tomorrow, after publishing an investigation into Egypt’s arms deals. In Egypt, journalism is treated as a crime — and questions about the military are forbidden. Journalism is not a crime.
