Jill Gibbon, the Quaker artist who draws what she sees at arms trade events, has sent a postcard in solidarity with Ali Mushaima, the hunger striker outside the Bahrain embassy in London protesting in order to try to save his father Hassan Mushaima, a prisoner of conscience in Bahrain. Ali Mushaima is calling for adequate medical care, family visits and access to books as part of his ‘Free Hassan Mushaima’ campaign, which many Friends are supporting.
