Across East Africa, civic spaces are shrinking under the weight of emergency laws, internet shutdowns, and state crackdowns. In Sudan, Kenya and Ethiopia, Emergency laws, digital censorship, and persecution raise urgent questions about the future of human rights in times of conflict and repression.
