@RanaAyyub @julieposetti "I chose to tell the truth without sugar-coating it, unlike many people who refuse to call fascists, dictators and demagogos by their names. This is what I do, and what many unsung journalists in India try to do, in the face of every-day persecution" @RanaAyyub #ijf22

@RanaAyyub @julieposetti "I don’t want you to see me as a super-human. Nobody talks about our mental health, but when somebody is going through depression and anxiety, it is really important to speak about our struggle because I’m entirely done with this construct of brave journalists." @RanaAyyub #ijf22

@StellaMoris1 @SwaziJAF @SMaurizi There is an interior fight for his liberty and for what’s right. At the same time there is an external fight against the normalization of this travesty that has been allowed to unfold a illegally political attack on a publisher because of what he has published @StellaMoris1 #if22
