Alarm bells raised over Ahmed Mansoor’s whereabouts

Alarm bells have been raised over the dire conditions and trial of the Emirati human rights defender Ahmed Mansoor, who was recently sentenced to 10-year in prison for human rights reporting.

Human rights organisations still have no confirmation of his exact detention location, nor the condition in which he is being held, the Gulf Center for Human Rights (GCHR) warned.

There are few details about the trial of Mansoor, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison on 29 May 2018 for his human rights activities, apart from what has been reported in the media.

The difficulty of verifying conditions of detention and trial of Mansoor raises alarm bells over his fate and health situation, according to the center.
