The Journalist, Khaled Drareni

The Journalist, Khaled Drareni
Why this petition matters

To free Khaled immediately and unconditionally, and drop all charges against him.
He was a journalist and was ignored some rights. He was ignored for freedom of speech. Khaled had prisoned for 2years.
Khaled reported about the Hirak protests. For example, Khaled reported the political background and the polices’ reaction. The Hirak protests called for a complete change in the political system. When the Hirak movement first emerged, Khaled was one of the first independent journalists to cover and document protests and police violence. When there was no Khaled in the world, someone else may have done it, but it is unlikely that it will happen. As the years passed, he was imprisoned. But, he didn’t give up and continue working journalist in the prison. I said before, but again, Khaled is a just journalist. He determined to keep reporting on the realities the country is facing.
The government is corrupt. Before only a few elites ruled that country but after the Hirak protests, the people wanted democracy. And, I want to see all the other journalists like Khaled who covered the government’s wrong-doings who are prisoned to release.
