Open letter to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum from Amnesty International and the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute expressing grave concern about the continuing imprisonment of human rights lawyer and law professor Dr Mohammed al-Roken in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The organizations consider him a prisoner of conscience who has been imprisoned solely for peacefully exercising his rights to freedom of expression and association, including his work as a human rights lawyer defending and promoting the human rights and fundamental freedoms of others, and call for his immediate and unconditional release.
