Reprieve is a legal action NGO. We are investigators, lawyers and campaigners fighting for justice. We defend people who are facing human rights abuses, often at the hands of powerful governments.
But when the President of the USA 🇺🇸 meets the Crown Prince without mentioning executions, it sends a terrifying signal: his regime can kill with impunity, and international partners will look the other way.

With your help, we can ensure that executions are on the media agenda, and can’t be ignored.

We know that Mohammed bin Salman’s regime responds to international pressure and global media attention. That’s why we work so hard to expose the execution crisis in the Kingdom.

6/8 - International and Indian law prevents people from being tried for the same crime twice. As he’s been fully acquitted in one of nine almost identical cases, the remaining cases should be dropped.

5/8 – Despite this, Jagtar did not walk free, as he still faces 8 almost identical cases based on the same torture 'confession'.

4/8 - 8 years later, he still in detention and living with the threat of a death sentence. But there is hope.

Reprieve has been working on Jagtar’s case for over 5 years. And in March of this year, in the first of 9 cases against him, a Punjab court acquitted Jagtar of all charges.

2/8 - Before his arrest, British blogger Jagtar Singh Johal was a passionate activist who drew attention to historic human rights abuses against India’s Sikh population.

Abdullah was the 300th person executed by Saudi Arabia this year.

On Tuesday, we had more devastating news, the executions of Mohamed Saad and Omar Sherif, both for drug offences.

He was tortured and forced to sign a false confession stating that he was part of a terrorist group.

In April 2025 UN legal experts called on Saudi Arabia to immediately release child defendants from death row. Instead, they executed Jalal al-Labbad, and now Abdullah.
