World Saudi Arabia STOP imminent execution of Saudi activist‏

	Halt the execution of Ali al-Nimr
	Act Now Ali Mohammed Baqir al-Nimr Ali Mohammed Baqir al-Nimr was just 17 when he was arrested for taking part in a demonstration. Allegedly tortured into a confession, and convicted in a grossly unfair trial, Ali has been condemned to death. Every appeal has been denied. The King of Saudi Arabia could sign his death warrant at any moment. Act now to ensure the King doesn't.   Dear friends, Please don't close this email without taking action. Saudi Arabia is about to execute Ali al-Nimr, a young man arrested in 2012 for, among other things, taking part in a demonstration when he was just 17 years old.  Ali was allegedly tortured, claims he signed a confession under duress, and was denied the right to a lawyer when charges were first brought against him. His lawyer was not informed of court hearings.  The signed "confession" is the only evidence against him.  His execution is imminent.  Saudi Arabia must not execute Ali al-Nimr. Join Amnesty right now to save this young man's life. In sentencing Ali, a juvenile offender, to death, Saudi Arabia has violated its obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which bans capital punishment for people under 18.  Saudi Arabia is one of the most prolific executioners in the world. So far this year, it has executed at least 134 people, including individuals who were younger than 18 when they committed their crimes, and people with intellectual disabilities.  All appeals against Ali's execution have been exhausted. He could be executed as soon as the King of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, ratifies his sentence.  Ali's life won't be spared without a blitz of international pressure from human rights activists like you.  Drop everything. Raise your voice to save a young man's life. Please act quickly. Thank you for defending human rights with Amnesty, Sincerely,  Sunjeev Bery Advocacy Director, Middle East North Africa Amnesty International USA
