Brian’s reflective but determined piece on accountability in Bahrain reminds us all that untreated, open wounds don’t really heal. @rightsrealization.bsky.social @salam-dhr.bsky.social @gulfcentre4hr.bsky.social @bahraintoday.bsky.social @redress.org @theguardian.com

Tomorrow & Tuesday Bahrain is up for scrutiny at the UN Committee Against Torture. Here’s a piece I’ve written about how accountability is elusive, but it can happen, & no Bahraini torturer should sleep easily @drewerydyke.bsky.social @jongambrell.bsky.social salam-dhr.org/long-road-to...

Bravo to the FPC team for its role in staging this important event. The issue of media freedom in the Gulf is a huge challenge. We are learning techniques & options from others working on Europe & other regions. Hugely beneficial to our work.

SALAM DHR’s colleagues in #Bahrain operate under an asymmetric power system. Media freedom is a crucial way to ensure the citizens can participate in public affairs. We are building a coalition to guarantee that citizens’ voices can be heard in Bahrain. Join us. @rsf.org

SALAM DHR is pleased to attend, seeking to build a coalition able to advocate for media freedom in Bahrain. It is needed to ensure that citizens can take part in public affairs, as guaranteed by Art 25 of the ICCPR.

Pleased to attend this event along with @salam-dhr.bsky.social colleagues. Media Freedom Coalition needs to take action Bahrain in 2025 to ensure #Bahrain ’s adherence to Art 25 of of the ICCPR.

We condemn the arbitrary detention of Ali al-Hajee. Summoned 28.02, on 1 March, authorities ordered he be detained 7 days at Dry Dock Prison for interrogation. #Bahrain detained him for social media posts about human rights violations & his advocacy of the rights of recently released persons.

The laws of war prohibit permanent forced displacement of the population of occupied territory. When carried out with criminal intent, it's a war crime. If part of widespread or systematic attack on civilian pop., reflecting state policy, it is a crime against humanity. www.hrw.org/the-day-in-h...

#JawadFairooz asks why #Bahraini -s face citizenship stripping; marginalisation & ongoing human rights violations. 14 years since the PearlRoundabout…

#JawadFairooz , #SayedAhmedAlWadaei & others reflect on 14 years of democratic struggle in #Bahrain. A catalogue of ongoing human rights violations call into question western assertions that things are improving. Whither political participation?

The 2011 #uprising in #Bahrain was a missed opportunity by the Khalifa authorities to create a new narrative of inclusive governance in the interest of all Bahrainis. Bah. is a state party to Art 25 of the ICCPR but fails to adhere to it. Never too late to change.
