I Am a Political Prisoner": Mahmoud Khalil Claims Persecution Over Political Beliefs

 Mahmoud Khalil, a detained political activist, has declared himself a "political prisoner," alleging that he is being unfairly targeted due to his political views. His arrest has sparked concerns among human rights organizations, who claim that governments should not use legal systems to suppress dissent.

Khalil, known for his outspoken criticism of the ruling authorities, was arrested under charges that his supporters argue are politically motivated. In a statement from detention, he insisted that his imprisonment is not about justice but rather an effort to silence opposition voices.

International rights groups have called for transparency in Khalil’s case, urging the authorities to uphold principles of free speech and due process. Meanwhile, government officials maintain that his arrest is based on legitimate legal grounds, denying any political motivations behind the charges.

As protests grow in support of Khalil, activists and legal experts warn that his case could set a dangerous precedent for political suppression. Calls for his release continue to gain momentum, with pressure mounting on both local and international authorities to intervene.
