The Associated Press reported on the family of Abdullah al-Howaiti writing to Lewis Hamilton, to thank him for speaking about their son, who is facing the death penalty in Saudi Arabia, during the Grand Prix in the country last year.
“You publicly brought attention to Abdullah’s case, and we are immensely grateful to you for using your for platform to shine a light on the injustice he faces. We cannot put into words how much it meant to our family to know that Abdullah is not forgotten” the family wrote in the letter, which Reprieve shared with The Associated Press.
