Amnesty International is seriously concerned for the safety of three members of the minority Shi'a Muslim community : Shaikh Ahmad Turki al-Sa'ab; Hamad ‘Ali Daseeny al-Hutailah; and Hamad Qulayan al-Zbeydi. They are being held in incommunicado detention, where they are at risk of torture or ill-treatment.
