It is an honor to stand in solidarity with former #Pakistan PM & #political #prisoner @ImranKhanPTI and its people to restore #democracy, #freedom, and #humanrights to #Pakistan.
I’m truly touched by all the love and kind messages following the @TLHumanRights hearing in Congress. It was a privilege to help expose the systematic political repression unfolding in Pakistan. Our voices will only grow louder when we unite and speak out through every platform

Thanks much @hughhewitt for having us on today and shining a bright light on the need to support the #Armenian #Christian political prisoners of #Nagorno-Karabakh and they #Aserbaijan should release them immediately.
David Vardanyan and Jared Genser join Hugh to discuss the imprisonment of Armenian Christian Ruben Vardanyan being held in Azerbaijan along with many other Christian Armenians. President Trump is leaning into this problem —both Ruben’s imprisonment but the cause of Armenian.
