Second Press Release: Respected human rights activist, Nabel Rajab, President of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights has now been released by Bahraini security personnel.
Bahrain, the Saudi intervention and the suppression of the revolution is the topic of this Press Conference.
00:51 GMT IHRC is deeply disturbed by reports from BCHR[1] that their President, Nabeel Rajab has been arrested in the last hour.
British foreign policy is more reminiscent of the Big Bad Wolf than it is of Little Red Hiding Hood’s grandma that David Cameron has so cunningly tried to dress it up as.
The upsurge in violence against Bahraini protestors within 24 hours of the departure of US Defense Secretary Robert Gates is indicative of the green light given by Washington to this bloody crackdown.
IHRC is delighted to hear about the imminent release of Khairat Al-Shater, Deputy Chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood, after serving 4 years of a 7 year sentence. His release was authorised by the Supreme Council of Armed Forces this afternoon.
