INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL SUPPORTING FAIR TRIAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS WRITTEN STATEMENT TO HRC40 AT UNITED NATION - GENEVA
DEPLORES BAHRAIN'S 8+ YEARS OF CRUSHING DISSENT
INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL SUPPORTING FAIR TRIAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS: continues to be alarmed by the never ending oppression and harassment of human rights defenders in Bahrain. In spite of lobbying by rights groups and the international community, the state of free speech in the country, and especially speech against the government continues to be deadly.
The Bahraini authorities have gone to great lengths to clamp down on any sign of dissent, people have lost their lives and hundreds of others sustained injuries or got arrested and harassed with no end in sight.
