Stop Saudi Terror

Petitioning King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz and 1 other

Stop the crucifixion of Ali Mohammed Al-Nimr

Ali al-Nimr was just 17 years old when he was sentenced to death by crucifixion in the wake of the Arab Spring pro-democracy uprising. He was accused of participation in an illegal demonstration and a large number of other offences. These include “explaining how to give first aid to protestors” and using his blackberry to invite others to join him at the protest. Ali was tortured and forced to sign a false confession. This was the only evidence brought against him. He was then sentenced to ‘death by crucifixion’. Ali’s final appeal was held in secret, without his knowledge. This was the last remaining legal obstacle to his execution, and now Ali can be crucified at any time. The authorities may not even give prior notification to his family. His execution would be illegal under international law. Take action now At any moment, without the prior notification of his family, Ali may be crucified by the Saudi authorities. Join our campaign to save Ali al-Nimr.
