Arabic Wikipedia editors have agreed to hold a day of

Wikipedia will not be editable for 24 hours. Wikipedia remains accessible for reading,
though.
Except it also forcibly logs out anyone visiting the site which since
we have SUL is not acceptable behavoir
This action stems from the community's sense of
moral duty to combat injustice. Wikipedia communities have previously stood up for human
rights such as by protesting legal travesties like SOPA and PIPA or by showing solidarity
with Ukrainians following Russia's invasion of their country.
And did Ar.wikipedia do the same for ukraine?
