Abdullah Al Zaher - His Story

Abdullah is the youngest of the "3". He was only 15 years old when he went out with some friends to join in on the Arab spring protests. back in 2012, along with thousands of others, to ask for their basic human rights and dignity. Abdullah was a popular guy with his friends, and, as with most teenagers, loved playing video games! but his real passion was for Horses. He loved horses, and rode as often as he could, on his beloved horse "Jemoz" , who, to this day, still pines for Abdullah. Abdullah was a true humanitarian. His sister tells me he wats planning on becoming a Nurse after he finished school. The 3rd March 2012 changed his, and his families' lives forever, the police swooped on Abdullah in the street in a brutal manner by shooting and wounding him, then beating him with their weapons before taking him to a detention centre, where he was tortured, beaten with iron rods. His nose is now disfigured. He was forced into signing a confession (as most of us would, with the same torture inflicted ) don't forget, he was only 15 / 16 years old at this time, unlike Ali and Dawood, he has been singled out, and moved to other prisons, reasons unknown, and kept in solitary confinement. He was sentenced to Death in October 2014, he has been denied access to a lawyer and his family on many occasions. Abdullah should have been executed on Jan 2nd, within the mass execution, but sheer public pressure, mainly from the UK,has kept him alive, so far...., we plan to keep it that way!!!! This photo is off Abdullah on his horse, lets hope it won't be too long before he is back on his horse! A very brave young man, we are all so proud of him! After Abdullah disappeared, Jemol didn't eat for days. Let's hope she can find her best friend, and they can ride together again!
