Nabeel Rajabs current detention

Nabeel Rajab is a precious prisoner. Preventing a human rights fighter of this calibre from speaking the truth and exposing the criminal acts of the regime is a little victory that they are licking their chops about. They will be greedy to hold him as long as they can. He and Abdulhadi Alkhawaja and the other high-profile prisoners like Dr ALI AlEkry and Hassan Mushaima are important to keep locked away and silenced because of their incredible respect and love from the community. There are thousands of detainees: it is absurd.
The cost of this mass detention must be astronomical logistically, however the cost to their Public Relations must be mounting increasingly now due to the recent UK Court decision, ruling that Prince Nasser the Torturer is not immune to being prosecuted under British law. So Nabeels arrest is also in retaliation for that, although he had nothing whatsoever to do with this particular campaign, clearly, because he was imprisoned himself for the duration of the time it took to build the case and the brilliant
Team who worked so tenaciously on it.
3.5 million people signed a petition asking for his release but the Regine are simply terrified of him and no amount of pressure from the UN, USA, EU, or ourselves (NGOs and Civil Soc) can encourage them to see common sense. What a complete farce their elections in a few weeks will be. They are self appointed and the entire government will continue to be run as a narcissistic incestuous mafia cartel. If they have nothing to hide why don't they let journalists and human rights groups into the country to investigate?! Even Juan Mendez the Special Rapporteur on Torture is still not permitted entry! But we are determined and resolute to redouble our efforts and ensure that justice and accountability will be served.
