After 7 years the #FreeHumanitarians have been cleared of all charges! Even the prosecutors argued for the acquittal. I was working on Lesvos when Sara, Sean, Nassos and their colleagues were arrested and accused of espionage simply for implementing the EU law of providing search and rescue operation and while doing so communicating constantly with the authorities. I can only imagine what those 7 years of living in limbo did to their lives. After all this time the verdict must be bitter sweet.

🌟This holiday season you can give someone the best gift they’ll receive all year.
For girls in Afghanistan our online classes are one of the few safe ways left to learn, connect, and feel seen. They are a small window of freedom, and that window is at risk of closing unless we secure funding before December 31.
If you have even €10 left for giving, please consider supporting a girl in Afghanistan.
🎁 A gift you’ll never see, but one she’ll feel every single day.

A new Humanitarian Watch episode is out now.
At the beginning of November German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that the grounds for asylum for Syrians in Germany no longer apply, claiming the war in Syria is over.
This directly conflicted with Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, who had just returned from Damascus saying that devastation and instability make a dignified return impossible.
Our co-founders Sonia @sonianandzik and Doug @dfherman discuss why this becomes such a major point of debate in Germany’s current political climate and what it means for Syrians living here.

They’re still speaking even when the world looks away.
These are real messages from Afghan girls living under gender apartheid. Words of fear, hope, courage and determination.
Our online media program is one of the few safe ways they can keep learning, stay connected, and reclaim their voice.
Scroll through their stories. Hear them.
And if you can, help us keep this space alive for them in 2026.
