    The Human Rights Centrehas condemned the arbitrary detention of journalists and social activists in Borama and Erigavo.

    According to a sstatement signed by Yasmin Omar H. Mohamoud, the Chairperson of the Human Rights Center on May 14, 2023, Ali Ismail Arreh(Ali Waheen) , a freelance journalist, was arrested without warrant and no formal charges have been brought against him thus far. He has not been brought to court since his detention.

    Omar said that during their visit on May 27, 2023, to Ali Ismail at the Borama regional prison station, he recounted his arrest and subsequent detention.

    The Human Rights Center is concerned with the increasing rate of detaining journalists and social activists arbitrarly and downward trajectory of press and free media sin Somaliland.

    As enshrined in the constitution, Article 32 (1) gives citizens the right to express their opinions in any form. Moreover, Article 25(2) requires the issuant of a warrant for all arrests, which is not the case for the abovementioned individuals.
