April 2017 Action Item
While we rejoiced at the release of Petr Jasek from a Sudanese prison after being falsely accused of espionage, the two men accused with him remain in jail. Reverend Hassan Abduraheem and Reverend Kuwa Shamal were both sentenced to 12 years in prison for allegedly aiding Petr Jasek. We are praying for these good men to be released as well. We are also calling on the Sudanese government to do what is just and right.
Write today to the Sudan Mission to the UN calling for the release of Reverend Hassan Abduraheem and Reverend Kuwa Shamal.
Write!

Suggested points:
--State that you are aware that Reverend Hassan Abduraheem and Reverend Kuwa Shamal were recently sentenced to 12 years in prison for allegedly helping Petr Jasek.
--State that it is also your understand that they are peaceable citizens and that these are false charges related more to the men’s religious faith, and that they are victims of religious persecution.
--Respectfully urge that the Sudanese government immediately and unconditionally release both men, and also take measures to promote religious freedom and basic human rights within their borders.
