A complete statement from the Wikimedia Foundation, made by Katherine, has been posted on the Wikimedia Blog:  https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/08/03/bassel-khartabil/

We are also asking for people’s assistance with translating this message into other languages given the global impact of these events:  https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Free_Bassel/Wikimedia_Foundation_mourns_the_loss_of_Bassel_Khartabil

The plan is to make additional information about the Foundation’s efforts to honor Bassel’s contributions and values will be available during Wikimania.

I want to join Katherine and others on this list in offering my personal condolences to all impacted by this tragic outcome.

Very sad news  indeed.  Frustrating that we could not gain more social
media traction, when there is such nonsense that does.

This is a very sad news.

Bassel will continue to be an hero in our hearts and we will take solace
in his activities in the Open movement.
