Bahraini authorities arrested human rights defender Nabeel Rajab outside of his home on April 2nd. The arrest warrant was a response to Rajab’s tweets exposing the use of torture in Jaw Prison. Now Rajab faces up to 10 years in prison for his social media activism.
Human rights defender @NabeelRajab gives a reaffirmation of his dedication to human rights in Bahrain as dozens of police stand at his door ready to arrest him.

Nabeel Rajab, a prominent leader of Bahrain's human rights movement, was convicted in August 2012 for participation in "illegal gatherings," "disturbing public order" and calling for marches without prior notification. However since May 2012, when Nabeel was initially arrested for criticizing the Prime Minister on Twitter, he has spent all but about three weeks in Bahraini custody as a Prisoner of Conscience. Nabeel is currently serving a three-year sentence. Call on Bahraini authorities to #FreeNabeel and end their harassment of human rights defenders.
