The Arab Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and Legal Profession (ACIJLP) and the Justice Support Foundation express their profound concern and strong condemnation regarding the arrest campaign targeting lawyers and political activists following their support for the families of detainees and their calls for the release of prisoners of conscience who continue to face prolonged pretrial detention for expressing their opinions, beliefs, and ideas.
Since the evening of 24 May 2026 and continuing into the morning of today, security forces arrested two coordinators from the Defense Committee for Prisoners of Conscience, lawyer Mohamed Abul-Diyar and human rights advocate Ms. Wafaa Al-Masri, who was arrested from her home this morning, after they had organized a solidarity gathering with the families of detainees to express the ongoing suffering caused by the continued detention of their relatives.
