Ahmad Al-Shamri, a Saudi Arabian atheist in his mid 20's, was arrested in 2014 after uploading videos denouncing Islam. After being held in prison, on charges of atheism and blasphemy. After a trial focusing almost exclusively on Islamic law, ignoring his pleas of insanity, and claims that he was drunk and high when he made the video. This month, he was sentenced to death for his beliefs. Ironically, Saudi Arabia, which also has a deplorable stance on the rights of women and has the third highest total of executions in the world, actually has a seat on the UN human rights council. In September 2015, as Ahmad Al-Shamri lay in prison, Faisal bin Hassad, the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the UN, was elected chair of the UN Human Rights Council. Now is the time to increase public outrage and force the UN to exclude Saudi Arabia until they release Ahmad Al-Shamri. This can be done by removing Faisal bin Hassad from the Council, as well as placing sanctions on Saudi Arabia. We need to make our voices heard before it's too late for Ahmad.
