for Human Rights

Thirty-one human rights organisations, including the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) within the framework of the Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, call on the European Union to urgently engage with Bahraini authorities to secure the release of Danish-Bahraini Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja and Swedish-Bahraini Sheikh Mohammed Habib Al-Muqdad. Both have been arbitrarily detained for nearly 14 years, enduring torture and denial of medical care.
