"Bahrain… Policies of Oppression and Impunity": a new book for "the Bahrain Forum of Human Rights"
The Bahrain Forum of Human Rights issued a new book entitled "Bahrain… Policies of Oppression and Impunity", it's a special publication of the third international conference between 12 and 13 February 2014 in Beirut, with the participation of representatives of 30 civil and international human rights institutions of 16 states from around the world, in which it's organized by the forum in partnership with the Bahrain Observatory of Human Rights.
The book consisted of articles and studies for 12 activists and academic researchers of 10 organizations and 5 states in which 4 of them are Arabic: Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon and Britain. The book is divided into three areas, the first entitled "impunity… the Policy of the Authority", the second "Reports on Bahrain following Bassiouni", and the third "Human Rights Reports".
The Head of the Bahrain Forum of Human Rights mentioned in the introduction of the book: holding the third international conference of this year 2014 (Bahrain: ongoing violations and impunity) in Beirut is a great chance to let all of those researches and activists concerned in the crisis in Bahrain meet and make their great sharing in tackling the axes of impunity, Bassiouni report, and the scanning of the human rights situation in Bahrain. This is also the reason behind exposing our publication the policies of oppression to air. This book covers various axes including to what extent the violations have gone so far against the Bahraini citizens due to their demands and freedom of expression.
He continued: through the making of this event and publishing this book, we are voicing our concern that the international committee has to take responsibilities too and hold accountable the Bahraini regime that is oppressing the human and non violent demands of the Bahrainis. This accountability and establishing the right counter-mechanisms to bring transitional justice to bargain are on top of the organizations gathering here.
Rabie affirmed that" impunity or the absence of justice is a violation in itself, and when it comes officially backed up and sponsored, then the officials must also held their legal responsibilities which is far from each now due to the disturbing status of justice that is firmly controlled by the regime".
