I 15 år har danskeren Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja siddet fængslet i Bahrain. Skiftende danske regeringer har kritiseret fængslingen af ham, og arbejdet på hans sag. Alligevel er det ikke lykkedes nogen dansk regering at få ham løsladt. Hvorfor? Jeg undersøger sagen i ny podcast: www.dr.dk/lyd/special-...

@maryamalkhawaja.bsky.social offers great analysis of the strain Bahrain is under as a result of the war between the US, Israel, and Iran. @dropsitenews.com @ryangrim.bsky.social @mazmhussain.bsky.social youtu.be/2Yst1p63dto?... #polisky #irsky

14 year ago Abdulhadi Alkhawaja, who turned 64 last week was unjustly imprisoned and then sentenced to life imprisonment. I urge the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to directly call for his release with her Bahraini counterpart. @maryamalkhawaja.bsky.social

Eidkom mbarak: On Sundays and video calls. And always: #FreePalestine

Update: Thank you to everyone who engaged and listened and shared 🫶🏽 my father has suspend his hunger strike until after Eid after promises made this morning from the prison administration

My father, Bahraini Danish citizen and prisoner of conscience, started a water only hunger strike this morning in protest of the permanent suspension of his video calls. Please watch and share

31 NGOs have signed a letter to the #EU calling on them to secure the release of two EU citizens imprisoned in #Bahrain

Going through my own ethnic pain atm - also important to note that the reports and articles I talk about aren't from the 1950's, they're from 2023.. #DanishHealthCare

I know I look out of it, but I've been sick for several days and finally had a small amount of energy to record this video cuz I'm also pissed. Feeling worse now so hopefully will post part 2 tomorrow. #DanishHealthCare Wearing my mom's robe and drinking her tea to feel closer 🫶🏽

How we dreamed in 2011 when we started the "Youth Coalition for Revolutions of Dignity".. it never quite took off, but it's insane to think of where we were and where we are now. Perhaps it was naive, perhaps it was far fetched, but at least we dared to dream, even when it came at a high cost..

5000 days - and instead of a #FreeAlKhawaja, we're very worried. The Danish government did NOT do what needs to be done to get my father released.. #Bahrain #DKPol

Baba and the rose #FreeAlkhawaja #Bahrain #DKPol

To my Syrian friends and colleagues ❤️ #Syria

Hope. It gives hope. There's so much travesty and heart break.. but right now, even if for a moment, there must be joy. Can't describe the feeling of watching ppl being released from the prisons. My heart is with the Syrian people tonight ❤️ #Syria

Hussain Aman should've never been imprisoned to begin with. Today he finally leaves the prison, but as a corpse. I can't imagine how his family feels.... #Bahrain

The 16th of December will mark 5000 days that my father has spent in #Bahrain's prisons. That's almost 14 years. It also marks the day the self proclaimed king took the throne and what they promote as Bahrain's "national day" What would you have missed if you had spent the past 5000 days in prison?

So we're back.. altho the 60 second limit on videos is not great... Hi 👋🏽
