Friend of WSC sentenced to life imprisonment in Bahrain
Former President of the Bahrain Centre for Human rights and Front Line Protection Coordinator for the Middle East, Abdulhadi Al Khawaja has been sentenced to life imprisonment after an unfair trial which completely failed to meet international fair trial standards. Abdulhadi’s human rights work at Frontline covered Western Sahara and he advocated for human rights in the Territory.
The Western Sahara Campaign stands in solidarity with Front Line in calling for the IMMEDIATE and unconditional release of Abdulhadi Al Khawaja and all other human rights defenders currently in detention in Bahrain. TAKE ACTION NOW!
