Call for her release
On 29 August 2024, MENA Uncensored posted on X:
- The pro-genocide UK regime has arrested @MENAUncensored's roving reporter and human rights activist Sarah Wilkinson @swilkinsonbc for supporting the Palestinian resistance and relaying what is really happening in Gaza and the West Bank to the world.
- The pro-rape UK government @GOVUK falsely alleges that Mrs Wilkinson supports terrorism.
- We hold the anti-media British government fully responsible for this stupid act of intimidating and oppressing journalists as well as human rights activist in favour of the israeli occupation entity, and we demand that this zionist-run puppet British government releases our reporter Sarah Wilkinson immediately.[2]
