<br>
This is a short but passionate appeal to you all to help support our<br>
colleagues going on trial tomorrow in Morocco for their work as human<br>
rights defenders and technology researchers.<br>
<br>
As many of you know, among those on trial will be my friend and<br>
colleague Hisham Almiraat, who many of you know.<br>
<br>
If you're able, please join Global Voices' statement of support and<br>
circulate among your networks. In Hisham's words, "the [the Moroccan<br>
authorities] think we're nobodies, they will crush us." This is to say<br>
that any support is much, much appreciated.<br>
<br>
