🚨 GNI is deeply troubled by the UN's decision to hold the Internet Governance Forum Governance Forum (IGF) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia this year. The Saudi government has a longstanding record of human rights violations and routinely stifles freedom of expression and press freedom, targeting journalists, writers, activists, and cartoonists with imprisonment, harsh and lengthy sentences, and travel bans. This is not the first time that the IGF is being hosted in a country that has a problematic human rights record, however, hosting the IGF in Saudi Arabia could not be more clearly misaligned with the IGF’s stated values and goals. GNI stands in solidarity with those working to promote human rights in Saudi Arabia, and as the IGF convenes in Riyadh, GNI urges the government of Saudi Arabia to immediately release all political prisoners jailed for exercising their fundamental human right to freedom of expression. 🔴 While GNI remains committed to the IGF's mission and its multistakeholder model, we urge the IGF Secretariat and the UN to prioritize human rights in future host country selections. GNI also calls on the international community to hold the Saudi Arabian government accountable for its human rights record and to advocate for the release of all political prisoners. 📌 Read the full statement and GNI's recommendations for improving the IGF’s hosting decisions going forward: https://lnkd.in/gdUaAjV3
