Calls for the release of journalist Sharif Abdi, who is reportedly being detained unlawfully in Somalia, have been on the rise in the last few days.
The Somali Journalists Syndicate (SJS) is urging the National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) to release him immediately.
Journalists in Somalia often face significant risks, including harassment, detention, and violence, due to the country’s complex political and security environment.
Advocacy groups like the SJS play a crucial role in defending press freedom and protecting journalists’ rights.
