On Monday, Saudi Arabia executed Reprieve client and child defendant Abdullah Al-Derazi.
He was arrested in August 2014 when he was 18 years old.
The crimes he was charged with related to attending demonstrations calling for basic human rights - when he was still a child 🧵

Work today - digitising some Lol Coxhill sax improvisations as part of Forkbeard Fantasy’s ‘Rubber God Show’. This probably hasn’t been heard for 50+ years. Not a bad start to the day!

Amazing, intense show from PH last night with encore of ‘Refugees’.
So, Peter Hammill at the RFH last night was quite an experience... Highlights for me were Don't Tell Me, Comfortable?, Patient, A Way Out (particularly amazing) and Still Life (though gutted to have missed Modern - not allowed back into the hall post-toilet break!) (pic by Howard Rankin)
