Let's put it a different way then:
Is anyone at the WMF doing anything in support of the two jailed Saudi Wikimedians, be it liaising with international or regional human rights organisations, the US State Department, briefing journalists so the wider public is aware of the situation, or anything else to make sure Osama and Ziyad aren't forgotten about as they start (by my calculation) their fourth year in jail?
I am asking because the press reports published at the start of this year do not seem to have led to any significant coverage of the two Wikimedians' plight on the websites of major human rights organisations. (If I have missed any, please let me know.)
For example, I found nothing at all on the website of Reporters without Borders. Similarly, the most recent Amnesty International report on the "crackdown on online expression" in Saudi Arabia includes several mentions of Twitter users but none of Wikipedians:
Amnesty's report specifically mentions that a Twitter user was sentenced for supporting women's rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul but fails to mention that one of the jailed Wikimedians uploaded Loujain al-Hathloul's Commons picture, which is used in her Wikipedia articles.
I didn't find anything about Osama and Ziyad or, more generally, Wikimedians in Saudi Arabia on the website of the EFF.
There is a mention of Osama and Ziyad and the fact that they were Wikipedians on the PEN website:
The U.S. State Department's 2022 country report on Saudi Arabia, published in March 2023, includes a mention of Osama's 32-year prison sentence, but doesn't make clear that he was jailed for being a Wikipedian, and Ziyad is not mentioned:
Will this be remedied in the U.S. State Department's 2023 country report? I think each country report covers the period up to October of the preceding year, so this month will be the last chance to make sure the 2023 report published next spring will include information on Osama and Ziyad's prison sentences and their Wikipedia activity.
