Peaceful human rights defender #AhmedMansoor was arrested 9 years ago. Today is also #Eid-al-Fitr, #UAE #MBZ pardon the #UAE84 prisoners for this celebration

Pain in UK's prisons.Listen to #UAE prisoner of conscience #AhmedMansoor "Whoever wants to know whether a country is truly based on humanitarian principles or not should look at how it treats its prisoners" #HaveCourage #Prisonersrights #criminaljustice @friendsofahmed.bsky.social shorturl.at/F8GGt

2/2 especially as peaceful negotiation has not yet been fully explored. Our concern for the civilian victims of this war also extends to the prisoners of conscience in #UAE, whose unconditional release would be a welcome humanitarian step at this difficult moment.

1/2 We observe with deep sorrow the continuing aggression affecting Iranian and Lebanese civilians, as well as the widening reach of the war impacting civilians in the Gulf countries. This trigger-happy conflict should not have occurred and should not be continuing,

‘We live in this paradox, and it has a deep contradiction. You’re creating big cities, creating great images for the young Arab people, creating an environment that they’d love to live in – but you don’t want to give them freedom.’
