In a display of utter disregard for human rights, Saudi Arabian authorities executed 47 people in a single day.
Of those killed on Monday was prominent Muslim cleric, Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr – a vocal critic of the government's treatment of the Shi'a minority.
Now the late Sheikh’s nephew, young Ali al-Nimr, remains at imminent risk of execution after following in his uncle’s footsteps and participating in protests when he was just 17.
Ali’s death sentence was upheld following deeply flawed trials.
He had limited access to his lawyer and says that police tortured him into confessing to demonstrating against the government, attacking security forces and possessing a weapon.
Not only is the death penalty cruel and inhumane, but is prohibited for anyone sentenced for ‘crimes’ committed while they were children.
Ali remains in solitary confinement and has exhausted all appeals. He could face the same fate as his uncle any day.
Please take action against this gross and irreversible injustice before it’s too late.
