Good News: Neth Nahara is FREE
Thank You!
Tiktoker Neth Nahara, who was featured in our Write For Rights 2024 campaign is free following a presidential pardon. A few words DO have the power to go a long way. Only days later, 4 other Angolans who were wrongly imprisoned for criticising the government were also released
Thank you again to 20,000+ people who pressed send for Neth, joining a global chorus of voices.
Background
Neth courageously spoke up about the challenges facing women in Angola, encouraging them to pursue education and independence. She even shared her personal journey of living with HIV to help others stay healthy. But after criticising the President of Angola on TikTok, Neth was swiftly arrested and sentenced to prison. Her sentence was since extended to two years.
Neth had also been denied her HIV medication for months.
What’s Next?
Since Write for Rights began in 2001, millions of messages have brought hope and sparked real change. More than 100 individuals have seen positive outcomes thanks to collective action.
Oqba and Şebnem need your voices too. Will you use it to help secure their freedom?
