Pro Democracy protests in Bahrain | News & Discussions

Serious question, is the royals still gonna let the Grand Prix in Bahrain while Shias protesting? I have a feeling they are gonna cause chaos in this event.

Bahrain " revolution " failed , Bahrain as a system is not bad at all , at least its the most liberal country in the whole middle east and has a better human rights record than the current mullah regime of Iran ever had .

No one cares how life is in Bahrain, they are the naval base for the Americans in the gulf, that is the real problem.

Who is it a problem for? Iran?

Right now only Iran, before Iraq.
But it does not matter, they simply should not allow them this.

Atleast they should not have allowed them all of this after the 90s, today they have no choice..

Who are you to say what they are allowed to do?
Bahrain is a tiny island that depends on other countries for security.
Iran aims to annex Bahrain like southern Iraq, but Peninsula Shield said no.

Southern Iraq is not annexed.
5th fleet deployment is not for the protection of Bahrain, its to control the gulf.
For Bahrain protection GCC force is enough.

I don't like Assad. I know the regime is doing in Syria but they acted always worst against Iranians themselves.

You don't know maybe what happened to some young people in Iran who were protesting against fake elections .
Some parents said they could see the body of their son totally destroyed under torture.

You cannot even imagine how i hate Khamenei, much more than you who ar enot directly concerned.

Bahrain is not as bad but very bad: they consider the shias second class citizens.
Instead of moving in the right direction, Bahrain considered it was smart to ask KSA to kill these citizens .
KSA is doing genocide too.

I understand one point ... now i feel it would be hard for our countries to be better. so much corrupted and with bad leaders.
so many people are brainwashed.
West and Asia are the big leaders in the world. We'll never be . we keep in stone ages minds.

Amazing! an Iranian is against Assad and Khamanie. Support the Syrian revolution and the Iranian revolution, hopefully the Iranian regime will fall soon. It is impossible to have a revolution in Saudi because the economics are perfect and most of the Saudi themselves enjoy life so they don't have problems but the Northern Africa region and Syria do!

Teargas used to subdue schoolboys protesting Bahraini arrest


human-rights-uk-bahrain-.si.jpg


Bahrain police have launched a teargas crusade against protesting students at a boys’ school on the same day a human rights group filed a lawsuit against the British government for its suspected role in supplying the repressive regime with spyware.

Police stormed the Jabreya school in Manama, the nation’s capital, after students became involved in demonstrations demanding the release of one of their classmates, 17-year-old Hassan Humidan, who was arrested on Monday.

Pictures emerged on Twitter of used teargas canisters and stun grenades utilized by police in the dispersal of the protests.

Tensions have escalated in the lead-up to the F1 Grand Prix being held in the country on Sunday. Over 100 people have been arrested. Despite unrest in the country and vocal dissatisfaction from British MPs, F! boss Bernie Ecclestone has confirmed that the event will go ahead.

“There’s no reason why [the race] shouldn’t be [a success],” he told AFP. He was apparently unruffled by Human Rights Watch reports that police in the Gulf state have been rounding up pro-democracy activists, comparing protesters to anti-Thatcher demonstrators.

Bahrain itself has been subject to visibly widespread anti-government protest and instability has rocked the country since the February 2011 uprising, with events in the small nation being described as the ‘forgotten Arab Spring’.

Some 80 people have been killed since, with thousands arrested and imprisoned amid reports of the severe violence employed during the course of the arrests. As of Monday it became illegal to insult the country’s king and national symbols, resulting in five-year jail sentences.

One female Bahraini doctor reported physical and psychological torture, alongside threats of death and rape, to force her to sign a false confession when she was arrested along with 19 others in June 2012.

An underground youth protest movement, known as the February 14 Coalition is currently in the process of embarking on week-long campaign of ‘volcanic flames’ against the regime.

Lawsuit filed against UK Government

Meanwhile, Privacy International, the human rights group, is suing the British government, filing an application for judicial review of Her Majesty’s Revenue and customs (HMRC) on account of its role in allowing the export of advanced surveillance technology that has been used by repressive regimes worldwide, including that of Bahrain, to spy on dissidents.

Privacy International’s lawsuit is over the government’s refusal to say whether it was investigating UK-based Gamma International (GI). GI’s FinFisher software has allegedly been used by some two dozen countries worldwide.

“In the wrong hands, today’s surveillance technologies can have devastating effects, and the public, especially victims targeted by this surveillance, have a right to know what the UK government is doing about it,” said head of research at Privacy International, Eric King.

Among devices being exported include ‘IMSI catchers’, which take on the guise of normal mobile phone masts and can identify phone users and malware, while allowing any interception to remain undetected.

Additionally, Trojan Horse software can allow hackers to remotely activate a telephone’s camera and microphone, allowing covert surveillance.

Human rights groups have repeatedly called for the export of surveillance software to be regulated in the same way as arms.

Germany and Israel have also been found to have been exporting surveillance technology.

'Cartoonish form of despotism' - Assange on Bahrain activist Rajab's imprisonment


img_19042013_091644.si.jpg

Bahrain human rights activist Nabeel Rajab.​

If Bahrain really wants to improve its human rights record, then it should free Nabeel Rajab, says Julian Assange. In an interview with RT, the WikiLeaks founder called Rajab the most prominent voice in the Bahraini Spring.

Anti-government protests have been breaking in Bahrain since February 2011, resulting in dozens arrested and over 80 people killed. The protests have again intensified ahead of the Formula 1 racing event, resulting in violent clashes, arrests, and police using teargas on demonstrators including schoolchildren.

Amnesty International has accused authorities of using the event as a platform to “show progress, with claims that the human rights situation has improved, whilst stepping up repression in order to ensure nothing disturbs their public image.” Nabeel Rajab’s tweets against the government and its bureaucracy, as well as the king, the PM and other top figures, back in 2012 were seen as an attempt to incite a revolution by organizing protests, and that was with what Rajab had been charged.

Julian Assange recalls that while Rajab was on his program The World Tomorrow, he already knew that a prison cell was waiting for him back home. He was detained at Bahrain’s international airport on his return. Yet he told Assange:

“Well, I’ve got to go back. I’ve got to face these people. I’ve got to go back.” During the interview, the activist told Assange he had already been detained, kidnapped and beaten in front of his family due to his sharp criticism of the regime.

While in prison, Rajab was subjected to inhuman treatment and degrading conditions, as he was thrown into solitary confinement on the first day of his imprisonment, according to his wife. He’s is solitary confinement, although he was supposed to be there for three months.

Julian Assange said in the interview to RT that the key human rights figures in the region and a real force to call attention to Bahrain’s problems.
