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 The full speech by Ibtisam Al-Sayegh 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=1086&cid=153 The speech of Devin Kenney, a researcher at Amnesty International in the virtual press conference organized by The Bahrain Forum for Human Rights (BFHR) on Saturday May 11 2024 http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1085&cid=153 The Bahrain Forum for Human Rights (BFHR) organized a virtual press conference on Saturday May 11 2024, with the participation of Devin Kenney, researcher at Amnesty International (AI), Zainab Khamis, head of the Monitoring and Documentation Committee at the Bahrain Human Rights Society (BHRS), Ibtisam Al-Saegh, head of monitoring and documentation at SALAM for Democracy and Human Rights (SALAM DHR), and Ghina Rebai, researcher at the BFHR. The conference was about the issue of prisoners of conscience in Bahrain and was hosted by Bahraini journalist, Murtada Al-Talbi. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1084&cid=153 For the second time, the Ministry of Social Development rejected the nomination of the former President of the Bahrain Human Rights Society, Mr. Abdul Jalil Yousef, for membership in the Board of Directors (2024-2025). http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1083&cid=148 The peaceful assemblies in American Universities and legitimate exercise of the right to freedom of expression and the students' calls for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to US military assistance for Israel and university divestment from arms suppliers, have faced harsh crackdowns including mass suspensions, evictions from university housing, and arrests of students, professors, legal observers, and journalists covering these events. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1082&cid=148 The Bahrain Forum for Human Rights (BFHR) organized a webinar on Friday, April 19, 2024, in which its chairman Baqir Darwish along with chairman of Salam for Democracy & Human Rights Organization, Jawad Fairouz have discussed the latest release of a group of political detainees.  The panel was moderated by BFHR’s researcher Ghina Rabai. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1081&cid=153 In parallel with the “Release Bahrain Prisoners” cyber campaign, the Bahrain Forum for Human Rights (BFHR) has organized a webinar on its Instagram platform (Saturday evening, April 27, 2024) with the participation of Activist Ali Muhanna;  Former member of the Al-Wefaq Shura Council, Youssef Rabie;  The spokesman for the Bahrain’s Political Prisoners’ Affairs Committee, Jaafar Yahya.  The webinar has been moderated by journalist Sondoss Al Asaad. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1080&cid=153 The Bahrain Forum for Human Rights (BFHR) organized a virtual conference titled “The Human Rights Position on Developments in Bahraini affairs,” on April 19, 2024. The conference coincided with the recent developments in the human rights situation in Bahrain, namely the release of a large number of prisoners of conscience, while there are still more than 500 prisoners of conscience who have not been released. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1079&cid=153 The Bahrain Forum for Human Rights has joined the Global Alliance to End Statelessness http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1078&cid=152 On Monday, December 11, 2023, the Bahrain Forum for Human Rights (BFHR) has organized a virtual symposium under the title “International Human Rights Day,” moderated by journalist Hawraa Yassin, who has pointed out that it is ironic that this day coincides with the establishment of the regime that pioneers violating human rights as it continues today to shed blood of the Palestinians amid the silence of Islamic regimes, which in turn violate the basic rights standards and resort to torture and ill-treatment. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1077&cid=153 While we strongly condemn the crimes of the Israeli occupation entity that have been ongoing for 46 days – including which occurred today in southern #Lebanon and resulted in the killing of 2 journalists from Al-Mayadeen Channel (Farah Omar - Rabei Al-Maamari) and a civilian in hostile bombing on the Tayr Harfa-Al-Jibbayn triangle, in addition to the killing of a Lebanese citizen (Laeqa Sarhan, 80 years old) as a result of targeting her home in the town of Kfarkela – we affirm that the killing of journalists by the Israeli occupation forces is deliberate and systematic targeting. In fact, the latter has sought, since the beginning of its heinous violations in Gaza, to kill journalists by systematically targeting them and their workplaces in an effort to impose a broad media blackout on the entire sector. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1076&cid=148 With the participation of human rights activists and civil society organizations from several countries, Insan Organisation for Rights & Liberties has organized an international webinar to discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza, in light of the continued aggression against besieged Gaza and the worsening humanitarian and rights crisis. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1075&cid=148 Desde el 7 de octubre, el Estado ocupante y del apartheid libra una guerra sin controles ni restricciones legales y morales, a través de la cual comete diversos tipos de crímenes internacionales, y no duda en utilizar las  armas internacionalmente prohibidas en su poder. No le importan los principios básicos del derecho internacional humanitario ni del derecho internacional  de los derechos humanos, y los quebranta cada día más. Sus flagrantes violaciones del derecho internacional son indiferentes a cualquier principio o norma imperativa internacional. Por otro lado, nos encontramos  con que los Estados Unidos de América participan en la agresión enviando su flota y sus soldados a la región, y la Unión Europea también alienta la agresión recurriendo a un silencio ensordecedor e inaceptable sobre los crímenes cometidos por Israel tanto desde el punto de vista jurídico como moral. Además, el Consejo de Seguridad;  a pesar de las graves violaciones del derecho internacional público, la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, los derechos humanos y el derecho internacional humanitario que constituyen una amenaza a la paz y la seguridad internacionales; está paralizado e incapaz de cumplir con sus responsabilidades estipuladas en la Carta de las Naciones Unidas. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1073&cid=148 Dal 7 di ottobre, lo Stato di occupazione e apartheid conduce una guerra senza controlli o restrizioni legali e morali, commettendo molteplici crimini internazionali senza esitare nell’utilizzo di armi vietate dalla legge internazionale. Dimostra un flagrante disprezzo dei principi fondamentali del diritto umanitario internazionale e dei diritti umani internazionali, con violazioni giornaliere. Le sue gravi violazioni del diritto internazionale ignorano qualsiasi principio o regola internazionale. In questa situazione, gli Stati uniti d’America sostengono l’aggressione con l’invio della sua flotta militare nella regione; inoltre, l’Unione europea incoraggia l’aggressione scegliendo un silenzio assordante al riguardo dei crimini di Israele, inaccettabile sia dal punto di vista legale che morale. Il Consiglio di Sicurezza, a sua volta, rimane paralizzato e incapace di adoperare le sue responsabilità istituzionali nonostante le gravi violazioni del diritto pubblico internazionale, la Carta delle Nazione Unite, i diritti umani, e la giurisprudenza internazionale umanitaria; le quali minano chiaramente alla pace e sicurezza internazionale. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1072&cid=148 Seit dem siebten Oktober führt der Besatzungs- und Apartheidstaat einen Krieg ohne rechtliche und moralische Kontrollen oder Einschränkungen, in dem er verschiedene Arten von internationalen Verbrechen begeht und nicht zögert, die international verbotenen Waffen in seinem Besitz einzusetzen. Er schert sich nicht um die Grundprinzipien des humanitären Völkerrechts und der internationalen Menschenrechtsnormen und stellt sie jeden Tag aufs Neue auf die Probe. Seine groben Verstöße gegen das Völkerrecht sind gleichgültig gegenüber allen zwingenden internationalen Grundsätzen und Regeln. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1071&cid=148 Depuis le 7 octobre, l'Etat d'occupation et d'apartheid mène une guerre sans règles ni restrictions légales ou morales, et commet, ce faisant, toutes sortes de crimes internationaux, n'hésitant pas à utiliser ce qu’il a à sa portée comme armes (internationalement) prohibées. Il ne se soucie pas des principes fondamentaux du droit humanitaire international ni de la Charte Universelle des Droits de l’Homme, et, jour après jour, il s’enfonce dans des violations graves du droit international humanitaire et de la Charte Universelle des Droits de l’Homme, sans s’encombrer d’un quelconque principe, ni d’une règle impérative du droit international. http://bfhr.org/english/article.php?id=1070&cid=148
