HM Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa
King of Bahrain
Riffa Palace
Manama, Bahrain

 

Dear King Hamad,

We, the undersigned Bahraini and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs), would like to unequivocally condemn your government’s arrest of human rights defender Zainab Al-Khawaja along with her infant son. The implementation of Ms. Al-Khawaja’s prison sentence for merely exercising her right to free expression and assembly amounts to arbitrary detention is wholly unacceptable.

We therefore call on the Government of Bahrain to secure her immediate and unconditional release. Continue reading →
