Join us on Saturday 2 May at the Sudan–Congo Conference, where trade unionists, activists and organisers come together to build international solidarity against war, displacement and exploitation.

Ashraf Omar — cartoonist, translator, and political artist — has been imprisoned for his drawings, accused of terrorism for exposing social and political realities. His case is not an exception, but part of Egypt’s systematic assault on freedom of expression, independent journalism, and dissent. We demand his immediate release. The pen is not a crime.
