Help free Anas before his appeal TOMORROW

Dear friends, 22-year-old Anas from Tunisia has now been in prison for almost four months. His story reads like pure horror: He was attacked by two men because they thought he was gay. But when he went to the police to report the crime, they threw HIM into jail for 8 months on charges of homosexuality. He will appeal the sentence TOMORROW and he needs your help. More than 25,000 All Out members have signed the petition asking Tunisia's Prime Minister to set Anas free. Can you help us increase the pressure by signing, too? Thanks for going All Out,  Matt Previous email: -------------------

Dear friends – Anas' story reads like pure horror: He was raped and robbed by two men. But frwhen he went to the police to report the crime, they threw HIM into jail on charges of being gay instead of prosecuting his attackers. To make things even worse, they forced him to undergo an anal test to "prove" he's gay. The 22-year-old man from Tunisia has now been in prison for four weeks. He is constantly being harassed and attacked by his fellow inmates and he's on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He needs to get out of this nightmare, but there's not much time left: his trial is coming up THIS MONDAY. Friends, take action NOW and ask Tunisia's Prime Minister to free Anas IMMEDIATELY. All of this is only possible because it's still a crime to be gay in my country. At least 127 people were arrested under Tunisia's anti-gay law in 2018. If we can help Anas, we will show that love can win in Tunisia. But we'll need your help to win this case. We've seen it work before in Tunisia. Thousands of All Out members helped free Hèla, a young woman from Tunisia who was arrested twice just because she's trans. Friends – will you sign and ask the Prime Minister to free Anas?
