More quotes by Aida Seif el-Dawla

The only way for there to be no torture reports is for the state to stop torturing people.

We won’t stop working on fighting torture, even if they shut down the clinic.

Human rights activism won’t replace political activism. But the human rights umbrella can unite people of different ideologies only if those people are genuinely committed to human rights without wavering.
