Local Group Action - May 2015 Silencing dissent in the Gulf States

In recent months the clampdown by authorities on peaceful dissenting voices has intensified across many Gulf countries. AIUK is working on two cases, Mahdi Abu Dheeb, a jailed teachers’ union leader in Bahrain, and Dr Mohammed Al Roken, a prominent human rights lawyer, jailed in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

While you’re here…

Like you, we are horrified by the violence and the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We’re calling for an immediate ceasefire by all parties in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Amnesty International is investigating mass summary killings, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, hostage-taking, and siege tactics.

As ever, our mission to protect human rights remains. Please donate today to help expose war crimes and protect human rights. Thank you.
