Nabeel Rajab: Global Week of Action


Nabeel Rajab, the co-founder of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights and a prominent figure in Bahrain's pro-democracy struggle, remains in prison in Bahrain. He is serving a two-year sentence for calling for “illegal gatherings,” after already having served three months for tweeting a critical comment about the Bahraini regime.

Human rights activists in Bahrain and internationally are organizing a Global Week of Action for Nabeel from March 21-28. To help free Nabeel, we need you to join us in taking action! We will be kicking off the week in DC with a demonstration in front of the Bahraini embassy, co-sponsored by CODEPINK and Witness Bahrain. Joe Stork from Human Rights Watch will also be speaking. Here are the details:

Demonstration in Solidarity with Nabeel Rajab
Friday, March 22 at 1pm
Embassy of the Kingdom of Bahrain
3502 International Dr NW, Washington, DC 20008

We call on you to join in the Global Week of Action. By calling collectively for Nabeel's release, and the release of all Bahraini prisoners of conscience, we are acting in support of the basic human rights of nonviolent assembly and freedom of speech.

In solidarity with Bahraini human rights defenders,
Alli, Dooler, Ellen, Medea, Noor, Sergei and Tighe at CODEPINK DC Office
