We are devastated to receive news tonight of the passing of Auriol Holt Roberts on Wednesday. She had been a penpal to Talha throughout his eight years in prison and met him regularly after his release when she was in London. She was a remarkably kind, caring and brave woman.

I have been looking at the coverage of the #Assange extradition this week. I am taken back to then Home Secretary's decision to block Gary McKinnon's extradition having previously sent @FreeTalha and 4 others without a second glance. I wrote this then politics.co.uk/comment-analys… 1/
No improvements in UK #extradition system since freetalha.com case and subsequent parliamentary reviews. New strategy required.
BREAKING: UK Home Secretary approves extradition of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange to the US where he would face a 175 year sentence - A dark day for Press freedom and for British democracy The decision will be appealed crowdjustice.com/case/assangeap…
We are very saddened to learn of the passing of Bruce Kent. He was a man whose Christian faith compelled him to pursue peace and justice. He visited Talha in prison many times, and supported the campaign with protests, poetry readings and prayers. He will be greatly missed.
💻There's a @WordFactoryUK Zoom workshop on Uschi Gatwards's 2015 @WasafiriMag prize winning short story, My Brother is Back, based upon Talha's conversation about repatriation from solitary confinement at a death row prison. 🗓Thu. 24th Feb. 7pm GMT 🔗eventbrite.co.uk/e/word-factory…
We were devastated this morning to learn of the passing of the talented writer Uschi Gatward whose book came out only a few months ago to great acclaim. Her award-winning story was the most perfect embodiment of our campaign's arc. We mourn her loss deeply.

In memory of our wonderful writer Uschi Gatward, 1972-2021: galleybeggar.co.uk/new-blog-1 We are so sorry to have lost her and her remarkable talent.
🕯We're very appreciative of this gift from the talented writer Uschi Gatward of her recently published and highly acclaimed book of short stories, English Magic. Her award-winning story, My Brother is Back, based on Talha's return is included in this collection. #UschiGatward
💡We're very pleased to see this glowing review of Uschi Gatward's book which includes her award winning short story based upon an almost two-hour phone conversation with Talha a few months after his return to the UK from US solitary confinement in 2014. theguardian.com/books/2021/jul…
On this day 2012, the #ColumbusDay weekend, Talha Ahsan was deprived of sight and sound, and forced onto a plane for #extradition to #solitaryconfinement in a country he had never visited. At the same time, his first place @KoestlerArts poem was displayed at the South Bank.
@FreeTalha It is galling how Talha's case is still written out of the conversation on this.
