Democracy For The Arab World Now Inc

TO PROMOTE DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA REGION.

DAWN COMPLETED ITS SECOND YEAR OF OPERATION IN 2022, MARKED BY ITS PROGRESS AS THE LEADING ADVOCATE FOR REFORMING U.S. POLICIES THAT SUPPORT THE WORST GOVERNMENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA (MENA) AND HOLDING ACCOUNTABLE NOT JUST SERIAL HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSERS BUT ALSO THE U.S. LOBBYISTS WHO AID AND ABET THEM. IN SEEKING BOTH ENFORCEMENT AND REFORM OF U.S. LAWS THAT PERMIT FOREIGN INFLUENCE IN OUR GOVERNMENT, WE ARE WORKING TO PRESERVE AMERICA'S DEMOCRACY AS WELL. DAWN FOCUSES ON THE MENA GOVERNMENTS THAT RECEIVE THE MOST U.S. SUPPORT, AND WE WERE PROUD TO LAUNCH OUR ISRAEL/PALESTINE PROGRAM TO INCLUDE IT IN OUR PRIORITY PROGRAMS. OUR WORK INCLUDED NUMEROUS EXPOSS OF SOME OF THE REGION'S WORST ABUSES, GENERATING REGULAR BREAKING NEWS STORIES. WE SUBMITTED DETAILED CASE FILES TARGETING ABUSIVE JUDGES, LAWYERS, PROSECUTORS, AND SPIES FOR SANCTIONS UNDER THE MAGNITSKY LAW AND THE KHASHOGGI BAN AND PRESENTED THE FIRST CASE OF AN INDIVIDUAL ISRAELI CULPRIT FOR PROSECUTION BY THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT. WE EXPOSED THE TREACHEROUS ROLE OF LOBBYISTS FOR SAUDI ARABIA, THE UAE, AND ISRAEL IN WHITEWASHING THESE COUNTRIES' DEPLORABLE RIGHTS RECORDS TO PERSUADE OUR GOVERNMENT TO SELL THEM MORE WEAPONS. WE WERE HAPPIEST OF ALL TO SEE THE RELEASE OF A NUMBER OF IMPRISONED JOURNALISTS AND LAWYERS IN EGYPT, WHOSE CASES WE EXTENSIVELY DOCUMENTED AND ON WHOSE BEHALF WE STRENUOUSLY ADVOCATED.DAWN ALSO EXPANDED ITS POLICY WORK THIS YEAR, PRODUCING A SERIES OF ANALYSES AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, SOME OF WHICH WE WERE PLEASED TO SEE ADOPTED, INCLUDING AN FBI INVESTIGATION INTO THE MURDER OF SHIREEN ABU AKLEH BY ISRAELI FORCES AND A CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY INTO PAYMENTS BY SAUDI ARABIA TO FORMER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS JARED KUSHNER AND STEVEN MNUCHIN. DAWN ALSO FOCUSED A GREAT DEAL OF ITS ADVOCACY ON THE U.S. FOREIGN POLICY AND HUMAN RIGHTS COMMUNITIES, SEEKING TO REFORM OUR METHODOLOGIES AND UPDATE OUR COLLECTIVE APPROACHES TO THE MENA REGION. IN 2022, DAWN ORGANIZED A SECOND MAJOR SYMPOSIUM CRITICALLY EXAMINING AND URGING AN END TO CALLS FOR "HUMANITARIAN MILITARY INTERVENTION" BY RIGHTS GROUPS. MOREOVER, DAWN CONTINUED ITS EFFORTS TO DEMAND JUSTICE FOR OUR SLAIN FOUNDER, JAMAL KHASHOGGI. WHILE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION INTERVENED IN OUR LAWSUIT TO PROVIDE IMMUNITY FOR KHASHOGGI'S MURDERER, CROWN PRINCE MOHAMED BIN SALMAN, WE SECURED A PERMANENT MEMORIAL FOR KHASHOGGI, SUCCESSFULLY RENAMING THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE SAUDI EMBASSY IN WASHINGTON "JAMAL KHASHOGGI WAY." WE SUCCEEDED IN SECURING THE INTRODUCTION OF LEGISLATION THAT WILL CODIFY THE KHASHOGGI BAN AND SUPPORT ADVOCACY GROUPS SEEKING TO PREVENT AND PUNISH EXTRATERRITORIAL REPRESSION IN OUR COUNTRY. FINALLY, DAWN'S PREMIER PUBLICATION, DEMOCRACY IN EXILE, EXPANDED ITS REACH THIS YEAR, NOT ONLY CENTERING THE VOICES OF MENA ACTIVISTS BUT SPEARHEADING DISCUSSIONS ON THE MOST PRESSING ISSUES FROM THE REGION, INCLUDING THE IMPACTS OF THE UKRAINE WAR AND THE IRAN PROTESTS, AND INTERVIEWING SOME OF THE SHARPEST ANALYSTS AND ACTIVISTS OF THE REGION.
