She condemned the long prison terms, solitary confinement and torture and also deprivation from medical treatment for three prisoners Abdul Hadi al-Khawaja, Abdel Jalil Al-Sankis and Naji Fatil.
 
She stressed," A number of reports show the breaking in Al Khawaja's face, Fatil and Sankis in solitary confinement deprived of medical treatments and practicing their religion while the last one was forced to confess and his books seized."
 
Mary Lawler expressed regret that the human rights activists were tried over peaceful and legal efforts and that the detention has not only affected their lives but also left terrible effects on the civil ambiance in the country.
Ms. Lawlor, currently an Adjunct Professor of Business and Human Rights in the Centre for Social Innovation (CSI), School of Business, Trinity College Dublin. She is a member of the Advisory Board of the School of Business has worked extensively with and on the situation of human rights defenders.
