- Three ask F1 champion to bring their plight to wider audience
- Hamilton’s stance ‘could make all the difference’, one writes
Lewis Hamilton has been asked to intercede on behalf of three Bahraini citizens who claim to have been victims of human rights abuses.
In letters to the Formula One world champion shown to the Guardian, the three current and former political prisoners praise his commitment to pursuing equality, anti-racism and human rights causes and ask that he uses his position as F1’s most recognised and successful driver to bring their plight to a wider audience.
