Please join Karim today at 3pm GMT for an online discussion hosted by the brilliant Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy (TIMEP) and the Freedom Initiative (Fi) about the abuse of travel bans in Egypt.

Karim will be speaking publicly for the first time about his personal experience living under a travel ban as a result of his work for the leading NGO, The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, and he will be joined by a panel of exciting speakers including Patrick Zaki, Egyptian researcher; James Lynch, founding director of FairSquare Research and Projects; Allison McManus, Research Director at Fi; Mai El-Sadany, Managing Director & Legal and Judicial Director at TIMEP and Margaux Ewen, director of Freedom House's Political Prisoners Initiative.

The event comes hot on the heels of the launch of Abuse of Travel Bans in Egypt, a joint report by TIMEP and Fi, as well as a second release on the topic by FairSquare and Human Rights Watch.

The discussion will ask what legal framework governs these bans? Who is being targeted? How are bans imposed and experienced? And what can be done to address this abusive practice?
