Dijk en Waard, April 2024

Your Excellency,

I am writing You as a person who is concerned with the respect of Human Rights, therefore I like to express my great concern about the situation of

MOHAMMAD AL-BARGHASH

I am alarmed by the news that on 31 January 2024, an Appeals Court sentenced Mohammad al-Barghash, the Head of the National Bloc of Kuwaiti Bidun, to three years imprisonment on charges that include “spreading false news” after he conducted an interview with a foreign broadcasting channel discussing the situation of the stateless Bidun community in Kuwait.

Mohammad al-Barghash was detained on 3 September 2023. On 25 October, a criminal court acquitted him, and he was released after spending over seven weeks in detention. However, the prosecution appealed the decision

I urge You to immediately and unconditionally drop the charges against Mohammad al-Barghash, as they are based solely on his expression of his opinion and quash his conviction and sentence.

Thank you for Your attention in this very important matter, I am looking forward to Your reply and positive news about Mohammad al-Barghash.

Yours sincerely and respectfully,
