I provide expert analysis on all five Refugee Convention grounds, political opinion, religion, ethnicity, membership of a particular social group (including LGBT and gender-based cases), and nationality, with a focus on North Africa.
This includes:
- Political persecution of opposition figures, activists, civil society members, journalists, and protest participants.
- Religious repression affecting converts, non-registered faith communities, Sufi and Shia Muslims, and secular dissidents.
- Ethnic discrimination against Amazigh, Tebu, Nuba, and Black African communities.
- Gender-based violence and systemic failures in protecting women and girls from abuse, honour crimes, and impunity.
- Targeting of LGBT individuals, including state-sponsored harassment, arbitrary detention, and social ostracisation.
- State violence, arbitrary detention, and torture by security forces and intelligence agencies.
- Suppression of free expression, freedom of assembly, and digital surveillance of dissenting voices.
