In April 2011, Mahdi Abu Dheeb (pictured), a school teacher in Bahrain and then president of the Bahrain Teachers' Association, was arrested for encouraging members of his union to strike.
Along with his colleague Jalila al-Salman, Mahdi proposed a teachers' strike to support widespread protests at the time, calling for governmental reform. Both Mahdi and Jalila were arrested soon after.
Jalila was freed a couple of years ago, but Mahdi remains in prison.
LabourStart has campaigned in the past to demand Mahdi's release.
Thousands of you supported that campaign.
Today, Amnesty International has launched a major online campaign calling on Bahrain to free him:
