Major Step Forward: UK Foreign Secretary Urged to Act on Andy Hall’s Conviction

Major Step Forward: Foreign Secretary Urged to Act on Andy Hall’s Conviction

Following concerns over Andy Hall’s Conviction in Qatar, the Foreign Secretary has been urged to review the circumstances of his detention and the lack of consular support he received.

Dear friends and supporters,

We wanted to share an encouraging update in Andy Hall’s fight to overturn his unjust conviction in Qatar.

What’s new: Andy’s constituency MP, Sir John Hayes, has now formally written to the UK Foreign Secretary regarding Andy’s arbitrary detention at Doha Airport on 1 July 2025 and the lack of consular support he received during that time.

This intervention is significant—it signals that the UK government is now aware of the serious issues surrounding Andy’s case and the broader implications for human rights defenders.

Why this matters

• It represents a turning point in Andy’s campaign for justice.
• The government’s involvement adds weight to the legal and diplomatic pressure needed to ensure Andy’s appeal is treated fairly.
• This is not only about Andy—it is about protecting the fundamental rights of those who stand up against exploitation and abuse.

What’s next?

• Andy’s legal team, supported by Justice Abroad, is continuing to prepare the next phase of his appeal in both London and Doha.
• Advocacy efforts are being stepped up with the UK government to ensure this letter leads to real action.
• Your donations remain crucial—supporting legal fees, diplomatic advocacy, and the campaign for Andy’s freedom.

A note of thanks

To everyone who has donated, shared, or spoken out—thank you. Your solidarity is making a difference. The fact that Andy’s case has reached the desk of the Foreign Secretary shows the impact of collective action.

Let’s keep the momentum going until Andy secures justice and freedom.

In solidarity,
Andy’s Campaign Team
