- Members of the Toki Pona community express concern for the well-being of the language's creator, Amatullah (formerly known as Sonja Lang).
- Amatullah's mental health has deteriorated since last year, with signs resembling psychosis, leading to conflicts within the community and her removal from formal roles.
- The community has launched new websites (tokipona.net, sitelenpona.net) to replace those she controls, urging support and link updates.
- The statement asks the community to avoid engaging with Amatullah publicly to prevent worsening her situation, and encourages her to seek professional help.
- It acknowledges the pain caused by her actions while emphasizing hope for her recovery and the community's resilience independent of her involvement.
