Amnesty International called on Tuesday, July 4, 2017, the Bahraini authorities to release human rights defender Ebtisam al-Saegh who was arrested on the night of 3 July 2017.
“The Bahraini authorities must immediately and unconditionally release al-Saegh whose only crime is speaking up against a government committed to crushing all forms of dissent,” Samah Hadid, Director for Campaigns at Amnesty International in the Middle-East said.
“We are deeply concerned about Ebtisam’s wellbeing. When she was arrested in May 2017, she was beaten and sexually assaulted by members of the Bahraini National Security Agency. Bahraini authorities have failed to investigate those claims and we fear that she is at high risk of torture as long as she remains in custody.”
