Abdul-Hadi Al-Khawaja is a Danish-Bahraini human rights defender who was violently detained in 2011 in Bahrain after leading peaceful protests calling for fundamental rights and democracy. Bahrain must release him now. @DanishMFA @larsloekke @Statsmin #FreeAlkhwaja

@DanishMFA and @larsloekke must ensure the release of the only Danish prisoner of conscience in the world. 13 years in prison is 13 too many #FreeAlkhwaja
