Sadia Moalim Ali: “Not even prison will silence me” – Amnesty InternationalAmnesty says Sadiya was arrested on April 12, 2026, following comments she made on social media and her participation in peaceful protests. Speaking in an interview conducted inside prison, Sadiya said she does not believe her conviction was based on genuine justice. “I believe my arrest and conviction are political and intended to punish me for speaking openly about social issues,” she said. Sadiya said little had changed in her circumstances since her conviction and expressed frustration that peaceful criticism had resulted in a lengthy prison sentence. Sadiya told Amnesty that she trained as a midwife but repeatedly failed to secure employment in her profession despite submitting several applications.
