Diplomatic Pressure
- Given Abdulhadi Alkhawaja’s Danish citizenship, we want to raise the matter directly with all relevant government officials as well as the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs. Email them, Tweet to their accounts, mention them in them in posts and stories.
- The US State Department has reported that the Bahraini Crown Prince will visit the White House next week. Pressure on the US Government is also very helpful. You can do that by emailing your representative or by publicly demanding pressure from US officials to help resolve the hunger strike by meeting the political prisoners’ demands
- The OHCHR announced that they will be conducting a country visit to Bahrain from 15-20 September 2023. We ask you to call on the OHCHR to visit Al-Khawaja and other political prisoners in Jau Prison. You can do that by emailing them directly or by sharing your demands publicly on social media.
Artistic Solidarity
- If you’re an artist who wants to demonstrate solidarity through your art, unleash your creativity and share your artwork on social media and with our team, remember to use the hashtag #FreeAlKhawaja.
- If you are a poet or have any kind of special gift, show your solidarity by writing a poem or by using your gift to creatively stand with us.
