World Liberty Congress

Hager Eissa, WLC Leadership Council member and a Sudanese activist, speaks about the devastating war that has displaced millions of people and left the country facing severe shortages of food and medicine. Recalling the 2019 uprising, she emphasizes that the creativity and solidarity of young people are Sudan’s main source of hope and part of the ongoing struggle for freedom and justice around the world.

The WLC expresses concern over renewed fighting along the Thailand–Cambodia border and its growing humanitarian impact on civilian populations. ”A border dispute can be resolved with international laws and a true ceasefire and a commitment to a long term peace for both nations.” Sochua Mu, WLC Leadership Council member.

Freedom is never achieved alone. Almost five years in prison. Today, Jeanine Áñez is free. Carolina Ribera, a WLC member, reflects on the journey to her mother Jeanine Áñez's release and the role that WLC and the PPST program played in supporting her along the pathway to freedom. Standing for freedom, together.

During the WLC General Assembly in Berlin, Alfredo Jimeno, former Regional Secretary of the Americas, highlighted the importance of staying connected, working together for democratic transitions, and standing united in advocating for all political prisoners as our own.

At the Nobel Peace Prize events, WLC co-founder Masih Alinejad met with Venezuelan leader and laureate María Corina Machado — two women united in their fight against tyranny. Their meeting is a reminder that the struggle for liberty transcends borders — and that when freedom fighters unite, authoritarianism trembles. “Wounded but unbowed to dictators. From Venezuela to Iran, we become freedom.” #NobelForVenezuela

Today, on #InternationalHumanRightsDay, we remember that for millions, rights remain a promise, not a reality. Across continents, people risk their lives to resist tyranny. We stand with women whose rights are attacked for daring to lead, speak, and demand equality. We demand the release of all political prisoners, whose rights are violated every day. No voice should be punished for speaking truth. Every person deserves freedom. Every right must be defended. Human rights belong to all — and their defense begins with you.

Today marks 1 year since the unjust and arbitrary detention of Jesús Armas, WLC member, by the Venezuelan regime. Speaking truth to power and defending human rights is not a crime—yet Jesús remains imprisoned without having the opportunity to a fair trial, simply for standing up for freedom and justice. We demand his immediate and unconditional release. #NobelForVenezuela

Nilofar Ayoubi, former WLC Regional Secretary for MENA, delivered a summary speech at the General Assembly in Berlin, bringing the voice of Afghan and Iranian women to the global stage. Her message was a powerful call for unity and hope, emphasizing that the fight for fundamental women's rights and freedoms continues with unwavering resolve. #Freedom
