Ali Mohammed Baqir al-Nimr
Ali Mohammed Baqir al-Nimr is a Saudi Arabian political prisoner who has participated in the Saudi Arabian protests during the Arab Spring as a teenager. He was arrested in February 2012, sentenced to death in May 2014, and previously awaited ratification of his sentence by King Salman of Saudi Arabia, which was to be carried out by beheading and crucifixion, respectively. Al-Nimr's trial was called unfair by Professor of Human Rights Law Christof Heyns, and Amnesty International, as well as French President François Hollande and Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who called for the execution to be stopped. Ali al-Nimr is the nephew of Sheikh Nimr Baqr al-Nimr, who was one of the 47 executed citizens during the 2016 Saudi Arabian mass execution. Ali al-Nimr's death sentence is presumed to have been overturned in April 2020 following several announcements from the Saudi government that people convicted as minors under 18 years of age are not to be executed.
