  • Country Advice
    Country Advice Bahrain Bahrain – BHR39737 – 14 February 2011 Protests – Treatment of Protesters – Treatment of Shias – Protests in Australia Returnees – 30 January 2012 1. Please provide details of the protest(s) which took place in Bahrain on 14 February 2011, including the exact location of protest activities, the time the protest activities started, the sequence of events, the time the protest activities had ended on the day, the nature of the protest activities, the number of the participants, the profile of the participants and the reaction of the authorities. The vast majority of protesters involved in the 2011 uprising in Bahrain were Shia Muslims calling for political reforms.1 According to several sources, the protest movement was led by educated and politically unaffiliated youth.2 Like their counterparts in other Arab countries, they used modern technology, including social media networks to call for demonstrations and publicise their demands.3 The demands raised during the protests enjoyed, at least initially, a large degree of popular support that crossed religious, sectarian and ethnic lines.4 On 29 June 2011 Bahrain‟s King Hamad issued a decree establishing the Bahrain Independent Commission of Investigation (BICI) which was mandated to investigate the events occurring in Bahrain in February and March 2011.5 The BICI was headed by M. Cherif Bassiouni and four other internationally recognised human rights experts.6 1 Amnesty International 2011, Briefing paper – Bahrain: A human rights crisis, 21 April, p.2 http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/MDE11/019/2011/en/40555429-a803-42da-a68d-

It is one of the worst years when compared to all previous years, specifically since the beginning of the political and security crisis in early 2011. The very name of the tenth annual report of the Bahrain Press Association, Bahrain 2019: a Cybercrime Syndrome, indicates the security authorities’ overtly frantic vision of any healthy practice of freedom of expression as a crime. Expressing opinions about the state and its policies is a cybercrime that, always and forever, aims to spread false news, split the national unity line, provoke sedition, threaten civil peace and social fabric, and to destabilize security in Bahrain. Bahrainis’ These charges have been replicated in all cases of arrest, exercise of investigation, and judicial trials that affected Bahrainis over their natural the past year. Through this policy, the state seeks to tighten its right to grip on the cyberspace after had taken absolute control of the expression local press on the one hand, and banning all forms of political association on the other.
