  • Bahraini Officer Detained Beyond Sentence
    UA 181/11 Bahrain MDE 11/034/2011 Date: 15 June 2011 URGENT ACTION BAHRAINI OFFICER DETAINED BEYOND SENTENCE A former Bahrain Defence Force (BDF) officer continues to be detained in Bahrain despite completing his prison sentence and without him or his lawyer being informed of any new charges against him. He has been denied family visits and he is currently believed to be on hunger strike to protest his continued detention. He may be a prisoner of conscience. Mohamed Albuflasa, 36, a Sunni Bahraini and former BDF officer who later worked in the office of the Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, was detained on 15 February 2011, the same day that he spoke from a podium during protests in Manama’s Pearl Roundabout. In his speech he spoke against corruption within the government and the lack of economic opportunities for many people. He called for genuine political reforms and for co-existence between Shi’a and Sunni Bahrainis. A military court tried him without the presence of a lawyer and in around mid-March sentenced him to a two-month prison term. On 15 April, a military prosecutor ordered that his detention be extended for 45 days until 1 June, However, Mohamed Albuflasa has been kept in detention since that date and his lawyer has been unable to obtain any information on whether there is a legal basis for this and, if so, what new charges, if any, have been brought against him and whether they will lead to new trial proceedings. He has submitted written complaints to the director of the military judiciary about the continued detention, as well as requesting a copy of the case file, including the charges and the trial verdict, in the original case, but has received no reply.

  • Bahrain's Persistent Troubles
    Expert Analysis February 2013 Bahrain’s persistent troubles By J.E. Peterson Executive summary The Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) states appear to have largely escaped the turmoil sweep- ing through the Arab world since early 2011. But outward appearances are deceiving; nowhere more so than in Bahrain. The Arab awakening did not create the eruption of Bahraini popular protests in February 2011 but, given a century of grievances in the island state, it provided encouragement. The struggle between the regime and ruling family on the one hand and an increasingly restive citizenry does not bode well for the future. Muted criticism from Western countries has only stiffened the tough posture of the hardliners within the ruling family and generated resentment from a growing proportion of Bahrainis. Despite the initiation of a re- newed, government-sponsored “dialogue”, the chasm between the two sides remains as wide and deep as ever. Bahrain is the poorest of the Gulf Co-operation Council demonstrations, the occupation of Pearl Roundabout and (GCC) states and it has also seen the most dissidence and its clearance by brute force, the arrest of Shi’a doctors at articulation of grievances of any of the six members. For the country’s principal hospital, the arrest of leaders of a most of the last two decades, its Shi’a villages have been splinter group from al-Wifaq and their conviction of under frequent or virtual assault and its young men (and treason, charges and counter-charges of attacks on women) have intermittently but persistently battled security forces and torture of detainees, trials of human security forces in the streets.

  • Reforms in Bahrain
    tema: demokrati REFORMS IN BAHRAIN Genuine democratization or strengthening autocracy through liberalization? Those criti- cal to the country’ s reforms argue that there will be progress, but just enough to consoli- date the king’ s powerbase and improve his image, while isolating the opposition. 52 the freedom of expression that Hamad introduced with Al-Jazeera has had no impact on the Qatari sociopolitical system. But it did help the ruler win high interna- tional ratings; his reputation was further enhanced when in 1999 Qatar held its first elections ever in which women were allowed to vote and stand for office. In the commotion entailed by the introduction of universal suffrage in a region where denial of political rights to women is the rule, it is often forgotten that the object of the vote was a 29-member municipal council with no political functions whatsoever. The art of liberalizing without impinging upon the old autocracy recently reached new heights in Bahrain: the amir, sheikh Issa Al Khalifa died in March 1999 and was succeeded by his 50-year old son, Hamad.

  • Sectarian Discrimination and Extremism in Bahrain's Security
    Sectarian Discrimination and Extremism in Bahrain’s Security Forces Questions for US Policy I. Introduction: Is the US Supporting a Sectarian Fighting Force in Bahrain? The United States (US) and Bahrain have a deep and longstanding security partnership, most prominently represented by the American Fifth Fleet base in Manama, the bilateral Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) signed in 1991, and former President George W. Bush’s decision to designate the kingdom a major non-NATO ally (MNNA) in 2002.1 Both the Obama and Trump administrations have maintained this relationship to varying degrees, providing approximately $124 million in security aid2 and issuing notifications for more than $4 billion in arms sales since 2009.3 According to the Congressional Research Service, it is currently estimated that roughly 85 percent of Bahrain’s defense material is of US origin.4 Yet, while the US Government typically frames this partnership as necessary for combating terrorism and preserving stability in the region, the Bahraini security establishment consistently contravenes American interests, and is itself a primary driver of sectarian division, extremism, and intercommunal conflict. 1 In November 2017, the Trump administration decided to again extend the DCA with Bahrain. The pact is classified, and details are difficult to ascertain, though it is suspected to contain terms for a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), basing access, joint operations, and training programs, among other items. 2 “Bahrain: Security Aid Pivot Table – Programs,” Security Assistance Monitor, 2017, https://securityassistance.org/data/program/military/Bahrain/2009/2018/all/Global// 3 “Bahrain: Arms Sales Dashboard,” Security Assistance Monitor, 2017, https://securityassistance.org/content/arms-sales-dashboard 4 Kenneth Katzman, Bahrain: Reform, Security, and U.S.

Background 1.1 Human rights in Bahrain Bahrain is a majority-Shiite country ruled by a Sunni monarchy. Widespread protests in 2011 were seen as a threat to the survival of the monarchy and the response from the authorities was harsh, culminating in a military intervention from the GCC countries, led by Saudi Arabia. The Sunni/Shia rift, an important part of Bahrain’s troubles, is viewed as a microcosm of the broader sectarian contest in the region and of the struggle between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
