Today marks the 15th anniversary of the unjust arrest in 2011 of Danish-Bahraini human rights defender Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja, GCHR's co-founder, for demanding basic human rights and democratic change in #Bahrain
We continue to call on Bahrain to #FreeAlKhawaja #Not15Years @maryamalkhawaja.bsky.social
15 YEARS. Today marks 15 years since Human Rights Defender Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja was violently snatched from his home for calling for democracy. With the systematic torture and complete denial of healthcare, his life is in danger. We demand his UNCONDITIONAL release now. #FreeAlKhawaja #Not15Years.
Today is the 65th birthday of our dear friend & colleague Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja, co-founder of @gulfcentre4hr.bsky.social & Bahrain Centre for Human Rights who's spent 15 years in prison for his activism. We call on #Bahrain authorities to #FreeAlKhawaja #Not15Years @maryamalkhawaja.bsky.social
Defender Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja turns 65 today behind bars. Instead of celebrating with family, he suffers from a heart condition, glaucoma, and chronic pain from 2011 torture. Denying medical care is a slow death sentence. Our message to Denmark: Act before it is too late. #FreeAlKhawaja #Not15Years.
As Denmark heads to the polls, we ask candidates: Will you prioritise the life of a Danish citizen? Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja has been tortured & imprisoned in Bahrain for 15 years for his vital human rights work. Denmark must use its seat on the UN Security Council to bring him home. #Not15Years
As Bahrain announces Eid pardons, a unique chance exists to close the dark chapter of 2011. With 4 of the "Bahrain 13" (rights activists arrested in 2011 during the uprising) completing their terms, we call for the release of the remaining 7, including Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja. #Not15Years
#Bahrain: As European officials head to #IISSMD25, EU citizen Abdulhadi al-Khawaja prepares to starve for justice
Almost 15 years of "private diplomacy" have failed: hrw.org/news/2024/03...
How much longer will Europe let this injustice continue?
