Spreading the word to free American citizen & civil rights lawyer, Asim Ghafoor, from the Middle East. Detained in the UAE and convicted in absentia.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

After our advocacy, Virginian Asim Ghafoor has been released from detention in the UAE. I’m pleased to see this situation resolved expediently and will continue to push for the safety of Americans detained abroad, including Brittany Griner.

@RepWexton We are so grateful to you for your leadership and relentless commitment to bring Asim home.

[Rep. Jennifer Wexton @RepWexton]

UPDATE: I’m proud to share that my #VA10 constituent, Asim Ghafoor, has been released and is safely home with his family.

I'm grateful to all those who spoke out in support of fair treatment and due process for Asim, and share the joy & relief of his loved ones to have him home.

[Lloyd Doggett @RepLloydDoggett]

We need to ensure what happened to Asim Ghafoor does not happen to any other American. Welcome back Asim.

[FreeAsimNow @FreeAsimNow]

All praise be to God! Asim is home.

[Asim Ghafoor @asimghaf]

It’s good to be home.

@MahdiBray @IramTola Please let us know what time and day and exact address so we can publicize widely

@SenatorLeahy @SenatorLeahy you’re spot on. Their focus on propaganda continues. Today’s “hearing” was anything but that - 10 minutes in which Ghafoor’s UAE legal team submitting evidence. 1 AM in UAE & no decision by the Court. Please speak up again #FreeAsimGhafoor

[FreeAsimNow @FreeAsimNow]

@RepSwalwell Thank you for speaking up @RepSwalwell. We’re disappointed to share that today’s “hearing” was anything but that - 10 minutes in which Ghafoor’s UAE legal team submitting evidence. 1 AM in UAE & no decision by the Court. Please speak up again #FreeAsimGhafoor

@SFRCdems @SenatorMenendez this “hearing” was 10 minutes during which Ghafoor’s legal team submitted evidence to the Court. Would you consider this “defending” himself? #FreeAsimGhafoor. Demand a fair and PUBLIC trial.

[FreeAsimNow @FreeAsimNow]

It’s been 17 hours since Asim’s 3rd “hearing” — a mere 10 minutes in which the defendant submitted evidence. It is now 1 AM in UAE & a full day has gone by w/out any Court decisions. Is this the due process that our US elected officials are advocating for? #FreeAsimNow @SFRCdems

[Imam Mahdi Bray @MahdiBray]

AMA is sponsoring a #free Asim Ghafoor rally and speak out ! in front of the UAE embassy & the State Department join us & demand justice ! for #AsimGhafoor now ! also call your members of congress State Dept. & the White House & demand that #AsimGhafoor rights are protected !

[FreeAsimNow @FreeAsimNow]

@RepCori Thank you for using your voice and influence to help #FreeAsimGhafoor. We’re grateful to have you on our side - the side of protecting American civil liberties at home and abroad.

[FreeAsimNow @FreeAsimNow]

Thank you @RepCori for saying it how it is - Asim Ghafoor is a political prisoner. #FreeAsimNow

[Congresswoman Cori Bush (Archived) @RepCori]

Asim Ghafoor, legal advisor to Jamal Khashoggi, is in prison without access to an attorney under dubious allegations.

Mr. Ghafoor is a political prisoner.

St. Louis and I call for his release & demand he be given immediate access to legal representation. https://t.co/0yb5bwl0Nj
