We were thrilled to be joined by Ensaf Haidar, the wife of imprisoned Saudi blogger Raif Badawi. Raif’s unjust imprisonment and lashing has become an international human rights cause, thanks in no small measure to the tireless efforts of Ensaf. She has become the face of the movement to free Raif. Despite all of Ensaf’s apparent physical daintiness, there can be no mistaking her strength and determination when it comes to leading the fight to free her husband.

February, 2019, Washington, DC. Katrina Lantos Swett meets with Ensaf and Irwin Cotler. “It was such a privilege to meet with Ensaf- she is a courageous advocate not only for her husband Raif, but for basic human rights for all!”
