Hello,

I apologize for the mass email, but time is of the essence. I am
sending the follow appeal on behalf of BCHR, GCHR, and CIHRS. Maryam Alkhawaja is currently [redacted], poise as always, trying everything in her power to secure her fathers release. Yesterday the family was informed that Abdulhadi his pulse is so weak he may go into cardiac arrest or a coma at any moment. And just a little while ago, Zainab AlKhawaja was also arrested. We were panic stricken when we first heard that her sister was standing in front of the prison screaming “baba”. As updates on the situation have come in, our hearts stop with every ping of Maryam’s phone. Zainab has since began a hunger strike in protest of her fathers continued detention. I implore you to take action to save a Alkhawaja’s life.

Best,
