AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL - I’M HERE


About the Organisation: Amnesty International is an organisation that leads to global movements present in more than 150 countries that work to ensure that human rights are recognized and respected. 


Mahadine faced a life sentence in Chad because of his Facebook posts criticizing the corruption of his government. Amnesty International campaigned for Mahadine's release because he did not deserve to spend the rest of his life behind bars just for daring to express his opinion.

For the "I'M HERE" online campaign, Amnesty International collected a number of photos in November and December for Mahadine, a blogger facing life in prison in Chad. The portraits were assembled to form a giant mosaic that was hand-delivered to Mahadine and his family in February 2018. Mahadine was released in April 2018.

Imhere.amnesty.ch was the platform of the digital campaign.

During the photographic action for his release, Amnesty received about 2,500 photos of faces that were sent, in mosaic, to Mahadine's cell. The Chadian government also received a bill to put pressure on the government over the release of Mahadine.




Finally, Mahadine was released after spending 18 months in prison.
