Dear Ambassador,

I would like to draw your attention to the case of Sami Al Haj, who was detained in Afghanistan from 15 December 2001 to 12 June 2002, when he was transferred to the US military base at Guantanamo Bay, where he is still held.To the best of my knowledge, he was simply exercising his right to freedom of expression, guaranteed by Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I therefore call on you to take steps to ensure his release.

Yours sincerely,
