We the undersigned individuals, human rights organizations, and cultural institutions are devastated and enraged by the assassination of our colleague Lokman Slim, the political activist, writer, and filmmaker. Lokman Slim, founder of Dar al-Jadeed, UMAM D&R, and Hayya Bina, embodied the way political and cultural work go hand in hand, dedicating his life to archiving, research, education and the arts. We are in mourning together with his wife Monika Borgmann, the Slim family and his friends. We reiterate our solidarity with the organizations he founded, and we collectively commit to continue the work of culture, legal advocacy, and justice which he dedicated his life to cultivating in this country.<\/p>\n

Lokman Slim\u2019s tragic death is an unfathomable loss for our community and our country. We categorically condemn his assassination. Lokman Slim\u2019s life work was the struggle to defy the regimes of impunity, amnesia, and cyclical violence that continue to beset this country. His brutal killing will not stop that work. It emboldens our commitment to free political work as a necessary condition of living together in dignity. Rasha Al-Ameer stated clearly and we repeat: the instigators and perpetrators are known.<\/p>\n

We demand justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This assassination has reignited the fears of many, at a time of extreme uncertainty in Lebanon. We refuse to allow that fear to take root. We will continue to work for systemic change and dream of a more just society, where we can live in freedom and dignity. We are united in our condemnation and reunited in these values embodied by Lokman Slim.<\/p>\n
