Two activists from Denmark and Sweden, held in Bahrain for more than 15 years, are being called on by the European Union to be released, according to a report by Human Rights Watch. Abdulhadi al-Khawaja and Mohamed Habib al-Muqdad have faced prolonged detention without clear charges, prompting concerns over their treatment and legal rights. The EU has been engaged in discussions with Bahrain on human rights cooperation, but the activists’ cases remain unresolved. Their families and international advocates continue to push for their release, highlighting ongoing tensions between the EU and Bahrain over political prisoners. The situation underscores broader issues of due process and freedom of expression in the region.
