Please sign this petition in support of imprisoned Bahraini human rights activist Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja.
My former colleague at Front Line, on 9 April Abdulhadi was the subject of a police raid in Manama. Security Forces raided his daughter's home where he was staying, beat him unconscious, assaulted several other family members including his daughter, and arrested him along with two of his sons-in-law. His place of detention is unknown, he has had no access to a lawyer and has been denied medication for an ongoing medical condition.
His daughter, Zainab Al-Khawaja, whose husband was also arrested alongside her father, has declared a hunger strike in protest at the arrests and has written an open letter to Barack Obama.
Signing the petition takes only a moment. Printing this letter, signing it with your name and posting it to the King of Bahrain will take only a few moments longer.
