New blog post written by Mahdi on 11/17/2025 is now published. Mahdi talks about Restorative Justice and why he believes the current systems of punishment aren't effective for the victims or those convicted of harming victims.

Welcome to the movement dedicated to freeing Mahdi Ali who was wrongfully incarcerated at 15 years old.
Please join us in our fight for Mahdi's freedom. We are seeking your help in amplifying Mahdi's story and building a pressure campaign to demand another look at the many flaws in the investigation, trial, and conviction of an innocent child.
