+1 . Canadians stand with Richard, Nazanin and little Gabriella Ratcliffe. Their family’s plight to reunite has been embraced globally as evidence of the repression and cruelty of the Iranian regime.

Today is leading human rights activist Samar Badawi's birthday. She was arrested in Saudi Arabia almost a year ago and finally appeared in court for the first time yesterday. She could face up to 20 years in prison for her activism.

This month marks the 7th year that blogger has been unjustly imprisoned for exercising his rights & speaking up about the Saudi Government's atrocious human rights record. He is a champion of freedom of thought & expression in a kingdom whose rulers fear both.

Powerful message of support for imprisoned Saudi blogger from , Chair of U.S. Congress Human Rights Commission. "Raif, you are not forgotten." The world stands with you, and will not relent until you are free.

I advocate for Raif through the Commission here in Congress, which I co-chair. In 2012 we launched a program called the Defending Freedoms Project to advocate on behalf of prisoners of conscience so they know that they are not forgotten.

Commend Government's adoption of definition of Antisemitism. It is reflective of the motion on Antisemitism I moved as a Parliamentarian—passed unanimously—& brings us in line with other ally democracies in the struggle against the resurgence of this oldest form of hate.

Sending prayers from Canada to Richard and Nazanin.🙏 The Canadian Foreign Affairs Committee passed a motion earlier this month in solidarity with them both, calling for Nazanin’s immediate release.
