Dans sa déclaration, il a souligné que le monde d’aujourd’hui est témoin d’ « attaques sans précédent contre les buts et principes de la Charte des Nations Unies, alors que les menaces de recours à la force – ou son utilisation effective – contre des Etats souverains se sont intensifiées, parallèlement à des violations du droit international, y compris du droit international humanitaire et du droit international des droits de l’Homme, ciblant des civils et des infrastructures civiles, à l’utilisation de la nourriture et de l’eau comme armes, et à l’érosion des droits de l’Homme ».rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1111&cid=148 Le organizzazioni per i diritti umani, i sindacati, le istituzioni e le associazioni firmatarie lanciano un appello urgente riguardo alla catastrofe umanitaria in corso nella Striscia di Gaza, dove una carestia sta decimando la vita di bambini, donne incinte, anziani e malati. Questa crisi è il risultato del blocco continuo imposto dalle forze di occupazione israeliane, che dal 2 marzo 2025 impediscono l’ingresso di aiuti umanitari e di beni essenziali alla sopravvivenza. Di conseguenza, nella Striscia di Gaza incombe una morte di massa imminente.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1110&cid=148 Die unterzeichnenden Menschenrechtsorganisationen, Gewerkschaften, Institutionen und Verbände warnen vor der humanitären Katastrophe im Gazastreifen, wo eine Hungersnot das Leben von Kindern, schwangeren Frauen, älteren Menschen und Kranken vernichtet. Diese Krise ist die Folge der fortdauernden Blockade durch die israelischen Besatzungstruppen, die seit dem 2. März 2025 die Einfuhr humanitärer und überlebenswichtiger Hilfe verhindern. Infolgedessen droht im Gazastreifen ein unmittelbar bevorstehender Massentod.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1109&cid=148 Las organizaciones de derechos humanos, sindicatos, instituciones y asociaciones firmantes advierten sobre la catástrofe humanitaria que se desarrolla en la Franja de Gaza, donde la hambruna está aniquilando las vidas de niños, mujeres embarazadas, personas mayores y enfermos. Esta crisis es resultado del bloqueo continuo impuesto por las fuerzas de ocupación israelí que han impedido la entrada de ayuda humanitaria y de socorro desde el 2 de marzo de 2025. Este asedio está conduciendo a una muerte masiva inminente en la Franja.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1108&cid=148 The undersigned human rights organizations, unions, institutions, and associations warn about the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, where famine is annihilating the lives of children, pregnant women, the elderly, and the sick. This crisis is the result of the ongoing blockade imposed by Israeli occupation forces, which has prevented the entry of humanitarian and relief aid since March 2, 2025. This siege is leading to an imminent mass death in the Strip.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1107&cid=148 Les Organisations de Droits humains, Syndicats, institutions et Associations soussignés mettent en garde contre la catastrophe humanitaire qui va s’amplifiant dans la Bande de Gaza où la famine fait des ravages parmi les enfants, les femmes enceintes, les personnes âgées et les malades, en raison du refus persistant des forces d’occupation israéliennes d’apporter une aide et des secours humanitaire depuis le 2 mars 2025. Ce blocus menace de provoquer une mort massive imminente dans la bande de Gaza.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1106&cid=148 Article 22 of Bahrain’s Constitution states that “Freedom of conscience is absolute. The State guarantees the inviolability of worship, and the freedom to perform religious rites and hold religious parades and meetings in accordance with the customs observed in the country.” This article is supposedly sufficient to prevent any violations of religious freedoms (particularly given the annual pattern of infringements by the Ministry of Interior), but sectarian persecution in its various forms remains subject to the whims of official policies.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1105&cid=148 This article is a general discussion about the day after a partial, full, or limited release of political prisoners in Bahrain. It addresses the rights of over 20,000 cases subjected to arbitrary arrest since 2011 up to this year. A fundamental principle in this discussion is: comprehensive political reform is the path to curbing the environment of violations and addressing their consequences. However, we must raise questions about the current reality!rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1104&cid=148 Les Réseaux et Associations signataires dénoncent l’agression israélienne contre la République Islamique Iranienne, déclenchée à l’aube du vendredi 13 juin, ciblant des installations nucléaires, économiques, civiles et militaires avec la complicité des Etats Unis d’Amérique.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1103&cid=148 The undersigned human rights networks and organizations condemn the Israeli aggression on Iran at dawn on Friday, June 13, which targeted its nuclear, economic, civil, military, and other facilities with the support and collusion of the United States of America.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1102&cid=148 Les forces d’occupation poursuivent leurs crimes de génocide contre les habitants de la Bande de Gaza, en massacrant enfants et femmes, ciblant les familles, détruisant l’infrastructure et les centres de refuge, imposant embargo général et famine en vue d’anéantir partiellement ou totalement la population de la Bande. Il en est résulté plus de 53 mille martyres, 100 mille blessés, plus de 80% de logements détruits et le déplacement forcé des centaines de milliers de personnes en dehors de la Bande.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1101&cid=148 The Israeli occupation forces continue committing acts of genocide against the people of the Gaza Strip, killing children and women, targeting families, destroying infrastructure and shelters, and imposing a total blockade and famine aimed at the partial or total destruction of Gaza’s population. These crimes have resulted in over 53,000 deaths, around 100,000 injuries, the destruction of more than 80% of residential buildings, and the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands within the Strip.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1100&cid=148 The Bahrain Forum for Human Rights has joined the global network of non-governmental organizations in the Coalition for the International Criminal Court.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1099&cid=153 La bande de Gaza est confrontée depuis 576 jours à une guerre d’agression à caractè re génocidaire, subissant des conditions humanitaires et sanitaires catastrophiques. Pour le 64e jour consécutif, les forces d’occupation israéliennes ont renforcé leur blocus, fermant tous les points de passage à l’aide humanitaire, aux provisions essentielles, à la nourriture et aux médicaments, tout en empêchant totalement l’entrée de carburant dans la bande de Gaza. Cette situation a entraîné une détérioration sans précédent des conditions humanitaires et sanitaires, compromettant l’ensemble des services de base et les moyens de subsistance : grave pénurie d’eau, arrêt des stations d’épuration, et effondrement quasi total des services de santé et des hôpitaux.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1098&cid=148 The Gaza Strip is facing an ongoing aggression war of genocide for the 576th day, amid dire humanitarian and health conditions. The Israeli occupation forces have continued to tighten their blockade of the Gaza Strip for the 64th day, closing all crossings to various humanitarian aid, essential supplies, food, and medicine, and completely preventing the entry of fuel into the Gaza Strip. This has led to an unprecedented deterioration in the humanitarian and health conditions and undermined all basic services and livelihoods, such as a severe shortage of water supplies, the shutdown of sewage treatment plants, and the near-total collapse of health services and hospitals.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1097&cid=148 Salam for Democracy and Human Rights, along with 22 partner organizations, have issued a letter to King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain, calling on the government to amend its 1963 Nationality Law to grant Bahraini mothers the equal right to pass their nationality to their children. This long standing discrimination has significant consequences for Bahraini mothers, their children, and their families, as well as for the broader society of Bahrain.rnrn http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1096&cid=148 The Bahrain Forum for Human Rights (BFHR) condemns the repeated Israeli military targeting of civil defense personnel in Lebanon. The latest was today, October 4, 2024, when Israeli aircraft raided civil defense teams while they were providing relief to the wounded and retrieving victims of the Israeli bombing of the southern suburbs of Beirut last night. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1095&cid=148 The undersigned human rights organizations consider the mass explosions carried out by the Israeli occupation and apartheid entity on pagers and handheld transceivers on Tuesday and Wednesday (September 17-18, 2024) to be a flagrant violation of the international human rights law and the international humanitarian law and amount to a genocide. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1094&cid=148 Summonses, arrests and interrogations for the purpose of political intimidation and criminalization of religious speech... And the prison crisis is back in the spotlight. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1093&cid=148 The testimonies of prisoners of conscience that are still being received from Bahraini prisons show the continuation of some forms of violations, including those related to violating the right to receive the appropriate and necessary medical treatment. In addition, some prisoners were transferred to Building No. (2), which has become known as the “isolation building,” as a form of punishment. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1092&cid=148 Bahrain’s human rights record shows that the issue of prisoners of conscience formed a basis for the production and development of many violations, including: individual violations, collective violations, and violations affecting the victim’s relatives. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1091&cid=153 The Bahraini authorities continue to criminalize freedom of opinion and expression and hold accountable those who exercise this right, as if it were a felony or misdemeanor that requires alerting interrogation agencies. Meanwhile, these same authorities still do not see any problem in the practices of the security services, who commit violations, misdemeanors, and sometimes even felonies against peaceful citizens and prisoners of conscience. So, these crimes are tolerated and their perpetrators go unpunished. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1090&cid=153 On April 8, 2024, the Bahraini authorities released hundreds of political detainees. The number of political detainees had been more than 1,300 in Bahraini prisons, and after the releases, it became more than 560 detainees. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1089&cid=153 The full speech of Ghina Rebai, a researcher at the BFHR, in the virtual press conference that was organized by the Bahrain Forum for Human Rights (BFHR) on Saturday May 11 2024 http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1088&cid=153 The full speech of Zainab Khamis - Head of the Monitoring and Documentation Committee of the Bahrain Human Rights Society, in the virtual press conference that was organized by the Bahrain Forum for Human Rights (BFHR), on Saturday May 11 2024. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1087&cid=153
