STOP Ali Mohammed al-Nimr's crucifixion in Saudi Arabia
Please protest against this barbarian death sentence against a teenager by dropping the bid for a £5.9m contract to provide prison expertise to the Saudis, or use any influence the UK government may have to save his life.
Why is this important?
A Saudi pro democracy teenage protester lost his appeal against a death sentence by crucifixion, and could be killed at any time. The justice ministry still says that it would not be in the “wider interests of the British government” to withdraw the bid at this late stage. The UK cannot condone the abuses taking place in the Saudi system because of its financial interests! It is urgent to pressure the Justice Ministry to DROP THE BID and save a life.
