Save Omar and Sarah #SOS

Join our call for Omar and Sarah Aljabri to be freed. Innocent of wrongdoing, they are held hostage by Saudi authorities in an effort to blackmail their father.

Sarah and Omar’s father, Dr. Saad Aljabri, tells @60Minutes that he left his kids a message should he be killed — “I’m sorry. I tried my best.”

Today is Omar's 26th birthday. Instead of celebrating with his family, he sits alone in a prison cell, locked away from everyone he loves. We miss his smile, his laugh, his presence - it's time for him to come home. #HappyBirthdayOmar #SOS #SaveOmarAndSarah

For 18-year-old Omar Aljabri (right), sports were a way of life.

His favorite teams were @celtics and @ChelseaFC & he loved to go snorkeling with his younger sister, Sarah.

Then, the nightmare began.

Today, both siblings are imprisoned in #SaudiArabia. #SaveOmarandSarah

[Save Omar and Sarah #SOS @saveomarnsarah]

For the 4th year in a row, Omar & Sarah Aljabri are spending Eid behind bars, held as hostages by MBS to punish their father, ex-Saudi official Saad Aljabri.

The pain their family continues to experience is unimaginable. #SaudiArabia must free Omar and Sarah. #SaveOmarAndSarah

[Save Omar and Sarah #SOS @saveomarnsarah]

Omar Aljabri would’ve loved to watch @jaytatum0 make history for the @celtics.

The 24-year-old won’t get to see his all-time favorite @NBA team advance in the playoffs this year, because he’s wrongfully imprisoned in #SaudiArabia. #SaveOmarAndSarah

.@thefreedomi’s new report on transnational repression cites the case of Sarah & Omar Aljabri, who were taken hostage in 2020 - when they were just 20 and 21 - to silence their father, former Saudi official Saad Aljabri. #SaveOmarAndSarah https://t.co/44W3u4OrEf

The Aljabri family has been forcibly separated for years — a separation even more difficult in the face of personal tragedy. Families should be able to celebrate together and to grieve together.

It's time Sarah and Omar were reunited with their family.

In forced exile, I always ask myself, will I ever be able to return home and see my loved ones again?

Today, I woke up to a heartbreaking answer; I will never see my beloved grandma Norah again. She passed away yesterday and I can’t attend her funeral or say the final goodbye.

Omar — whole loves sports — should have been watching his country playing in the World Cup alongside his friends and family. Instead, he and his sister Sarah have been unjustly ripped from their loved ones and taken hostage #SOS #SaveOmarAndSarah #FIFAWorldCup #Qatar2022

"On his first day as crown prince [MBS] took my siblings, who were 17 and 18, as hostages. And when my father pleaded with him to release them... MBS blackmailed my dad."

Children should not be used as bargaining chips against their parents

I joined @celiahatton on @BBCWorld to talk about MBS’s documented role in the ongoing hostage situation of my siblings @saveomarnsarah, and counter @AdelAljubeir’s whataboutism and logical fallacies on Khashoggi’s assassination and other egregious human rights violations.

[Save Omar and Sarah #SOS @saveomarnsarah]

After this photo, Omar was taken from his home in the middle of the night. Yesterday was Omar's 24th birthday- the 3rd birthday he's spent unjustly imprisoned.

How many more birthdays do Sarah and Omar have to spend away from their loved ones?

The UN called for the immediate and unconditional release of Sarah and Omar stating that “In the light of the Crown Prince’s recent actions, the risk that they may be further tortured, both physically and psychologically, is allegedly increasing"

"MBS bears primary responsibility for the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi — among other human rights violations"

Those violations include the hostage taking of Sarah and Omar.

@POTUS, don't forget about them and all Saudis unjustly imprisoned.

If Biden is to meet MBS and Sissi, says a Washpost editorial, he must obtain human rights action, including freedom for Saudi prisoners and @alaa https://t.co/ocdNj69o48

[عبدالله العودة Abdullah Alaoudh @aalodah]

"Until Saudi Arabia makes a radical change in terms of (its) human rights, I wouldn't want anything to do with him," Schiff said of the crown prince, often called MBS.

Thank you @RepAdamSchiff

[Rep. Andy Levin @RepAndyLevin]

.@POTUS should NOT meet w/ MBS. MBS approved journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder—according to his own admin! MBS is responsible for human rights violations at home & abroad. This sends a terrible signal to the global community & undermines US credibility https://t.co/Z3Bva7Uggx

[Save Omar and Sarah #SOS @saveomarnsarah]

It's been almost 5 years since Sarah and Omar- just children at the time- were placed on travel ban and over 2 years since their arrest.

If @POTUS is to meet with MBS he must push him to address the human rights crisis faced by Sarah and Omar and the thousands like them #SOS

Breaking News: President Biden plans to travel to Saudi Arabia this month to rebuild relations in an effort to lower gas prices in the U.S. and isolate Russia. https://t.co/N2roZNSZbS

[Save Omar and Sarah #SOS @saveomarnsarah]

"The nearest thing to accountability for the murder is for MBS to release the detainees Khashoggi advocated for and halt his targeting of dissidents abroad. If Khashoggi were alive, this is what he would have demanded"

I am a victim of MBS’s ruthless regime. Two of my siblings are being held hostage in Saudi Arabia, and my family is tormented by a brutal intimidation campaign. However, president Biden could and should salvage the relationship — but not at all costs.

Graduation season is upon us and we can't help but think of Sarah and Omar— both were supposed to be traveling to Boston to continue their educations.

Instead they were banned from leaving the country and thrown in prison #SOS #SaveOmarandSarah

[Save Omar and Sarah #SOS @saveomarnsarah]

As the @celtics take on the @MiamiHEAT in the conference finals we can't help but think of Omar who instead of watching his favorite team is being held hostage in a Saudi prison despite having committed no crime.

Join us in calling to Free Sarah and Omar

Eid Mubarak!

As families all around the world come together for Eid, two seats are conspicuously missing from their family’s table: Sarah & Omar.
