Amnesty International

Human rights defender Saud al-Hashimi is reported to have recently suffered two strokes and is in urgent need of medical care. He is a prisoner of conscience.

 Write a letter, send an email, call, fax or tweet:
  • Calling on the Saudi Arabian authorities to ensure that Saud al-Hashimi’s conviction is quashed, and to release him immediately and unconditionally, as he is a prisoner of conscience, held solely for peacefully exercising his rights to freedom of expression and association
  • Urging them, in the meantime, to provide Saud al-Hashimi with immediate access to adequate medical treatment for his conditions and access to regular check-ups in hospitals where he can receive specialist care
  • Urging them to ensure that Saud al-Hashimi is not subjected to torture or other ill-treatment.
