Although media decided to ignore the human rights violations in Bahrain, it has not stopped. Al-Wefaq human rights organization reports increasing number of raids, arrests, tortures and confiscations and destruction of personal properties by Bahraini official forces.
The organization highlighted some of the human right violations in July 8th and 9th, 2013. In its report, Al-Wefaq reveals arrest of 30 men plus one minor, raids to 72 homes, three cases of destruction of personal property such as breaking the car window, and six cases of torture.
Also 45 protests took place in different areas and cities in July 8th and 9th. The forces used Tear gas and shot bullets to disperse the protestors.
Bahrainis have been oppressed by their government for a long time and now that they have decided to use their rights to make changes in their government, no media outlet, politician or authority is willing to support their right. Bahrain is one of five top Shia populated countries in the world and yet the government is anti-Shia and uses all its power to oppress its citizens.
SRW asks international committees to break the silence and join the people of Bahrain to bring democracy and freedom back to their country.
