Rights group adds lobbying help to spotlight Egypt, Saudi abuses
Political prisoner advocacy group Freedom Initiative is deploying Washington lobbyists to amplify its message on the Hill.
A prominent human rights organization in Washington has hired a pair of lobbying firms, a move aimed at putting Saudi Arabia and Egypt on lawmakers' agendas as frustration builds over the Biden administration’s handling of the two repressive governments.
The Freedom Initiative, a Washington-based nonprofit that advocates for political prisoners in the Middle East, has retained lobbyists from BakerHostetler and Neale Creek, according to newly filed disclosures.
