3/5 - He was arrested and tortured for a crime he did not commit and has since been separated from his family for over decade. We're doing all we can to fight for Mohammed and others like him. But when legal avenues are exhausted, like in his case, our community is a lifeline.

2/5 - Mohammed’s story is one of injustice 🚫 ⚖️, He is one of many people who were targeted in a crackdown on pro-democracy protests that followed the 2011 Arab Spring calling for human rights and fundamental freedoms in Bahrain 🇧🇭 .

It's Father’s Day in the UK. Let's take this time to reflect on one of our clients, father of three, Mohammed Ramadhan. Mohammed has been separated from his family for over a decade – for a crime he did not commit -🧵

Here's an excerpt from our letter: "Saudi Arabia is investing $800 billion to transform their tourism sector and attract more visitors, yet few will be aware that an old, deleted social media post could lead to them being abducted and potentially sentenced to death."

These risks are underscored by the case of Ahmed Al-Doush, a British father who was abducted at Riyadh airport in front of his family, faced the threat of the death penalty and was recently sentenced to ten years in prison over his social media posts.

We wrote to the Foreign Office urging the government to update its travel advice to Saudi Arabia so British nationals are fully informed of the risks to their safety should they visit the country. The Daily Mail reported on our letter 🧵

#Shaminabegum made grave mistakes. But she's our responsibility and no one else's. Stripping her UK citizenship, and that of others abandoned in #Syria, is an abdication of responsibility. @Jacob_Rees_Mogg and I in the @FT today. @tonyvaughanMP
