Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain

Americans for Democracy & Human Rights in Bahrain (ADHRB) fosters awareness of and support for democracy and human rights in Bahrain and Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (GCC).

ADHRB has launched an Anti-Death Penalty Campaign during the summer of 2020 which involved local, national, and international engagements to advocate and lobby for the abolition of the death penalty and commutation of death sentences of the individuals on death row in Bahrain. The organization has launched social media campaigns, including Instagram, Twitter, and a petition to call on the King of Bahrain to commute death sentences. As for national outreach, ADHRB established correspondence with members of the various national governments (in countries where ADHRB is present: Germany, France, Spain, etc.) and also reached out to numerous NGOs dealing with human rights or the Gulf Region to help our cause. On top of that, Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain are also busy in Brussels at the European Parliament, advocating for the abolition of the death penalty in Bahrain and the Arab Gulf generally.

ADHRB has a couple of publications on the death penalty with a special focus on the cases of Mohammad Ramadhan and Husain Moosa:
