Global civil society alliance Civicus has added jailed Burundian journalist Floriane Irangabiye to its Stand As My Witness campaign, which advocates the release of wrongly imprisoned journalists, activists, dissidents and human-rights defenders around the world.
Irangabiye joins 19 other jailed individuals featured in the campaign, including Iran’s Nobel Peace Prize-winning women’s rights activist Narges Mohammadi, leading Hong Kong activist Chow Hang-Tung and prominent Kashmiri human rights defender Khurram Parvez.
