SAR is deeply saddened to learn that Prof. Gokarakonda Naga Saibaba passed away on October 12, 2024 from medical complications. His tireless advocacy for vulnerable groups in India, despite facing attacks on his right to #academicfreedom, must never be forgotten.

A trend of “autocratisation” that has seen liberal democracies elect politicians who have then used their power to undermine universities risks emboldening authoritarian regimes in their own attacks on #HE, a @ScholarsAtRisk report warns. timeshighereducation.com/news/universit…


Attacks on #highered is a global problem that requires a global response. Learn more from @ScholarsAtRisk in its annual repoort #FreetoThink2024 and pls share widely across your networks...

1 year, 381 attacks, 51 countries and territories. #Free2Think2024 shows how widespread and pervasive threats to #academicfreedom and scholars’ lives are. See how attacks on #highered impacted your country: scholarsatrisk.org/resources/free…

I was being a coward, avoiding reading this, knowing it would be horrific. But reading it is literally the least I can do; 1 tiny step further is sharing it; then (easily) donating to trusted orgs. Need to do more, ideas welcome...nytimes.com/2024/09/18/opi…

Relieved to learn of Professor Quezada’s release! Learn more about his arrest and detention here: scholarsatrisk.org/report/2023-11…

After his unjust imprisonment in Nov. 2023 under President Ortega’s regime, #Nicaragua’s Freddy Quezada has finally been freed and is able to speak with his family. Like others included in the prisoner release, he is not able to return to Nicaragua. #scholarsinprison

As the “global rise of illiberalism” shrinks #academicfreedom worldwide, SAR’s @ClarissiaBourd1 makes the case to @IEASA_StudySA for why Africa’s #highered leaders must advocate to protect their scholars from violent repression. See @uniworldnews: ow.ly/m97Y50T97R1
