"Waad" has closely observed the cowardly attack on Mr. Nabeel Rajab, human
rights activist and Chairman of Bahrain Center for Human Rights, by security
forces in Bahrain’s capital, Manama, despite the false information issued about
the attack. This act has been considered cowardly and must be condemned and
stopped. Moreover the names of those who committed the act should be revealed
and brought to justice as the incident is not the first of its kind, as was
preceded by several attacks on Mr. Rajab and his home.
Waad said that the attack reflects
security forces’ insistence to continue practicing collective punishment against
citizens in various areas. It stressed
that the state of repression and
escalation cannot resolve the persistent political-constitutional crisis that
has been plaguing the country for more than ten years, and which escalated in 14
February 2011.
Waad confirmed the need for an
immediate intervention by the political leadership in order to stop the
deterioration resulting from security solutions. It stressed the need to put an
end to the suffering by various areas subject to collective punishment, by
establishing political and security détente to overcome the political
and sectarian tension that is being fueled by some extremists in
mosques.
Waad demanded the stateto undertake its constitutional and
legal responsibilities by protecting the safety and lives of citizens and
residents, including human rights activists and politicians, through the
withdrawal of security forces deployed in different areas of
Bahrain.
