That wasn’t easy, my love.. It was a tremendously marathon you carried through for 9 months and more. Thank you for all that you give. I have documented the most lovely story, a journey filled with joyful and dangerous surprises. Sina.. Welcome to the world ❤️💕 – at Vienna, Austria

We followed the imprisonment and systematic silencing of the Egyptian photojournalist @ShawkanZeid for over a decade. This week @wpfreedomdesk interviewed him as a free man. Please read it, share it and support the next chapter of his journey. s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-r…

Finally, after almost 13 years. I AM FREE. I made it to Vienna with my wife and we are expecting a baby girl. 2019 was the year I walked from 24/7 prison into 12/7 prison a condition that lasted for 5 years. followed by 2 and half more years of being banned from traveling.
