GoB, What R U Going to do About Those?

GoB, What R U Going to do About Those?

The Government of Bahrain (GoB) is continuously paying no heed to its security personnel violations and crimes, to those who are alleged to be members of the security system but not on duty and those who are members of the intelligence and/or investigations units.

A numerous number of breaches have occurred during the last few months of 2011; breaches that couldn’t have been concealed. While the GoB is busy arresting, beating, torturing, trying and convicting young Bahraini citizens for no crime but protesting peacefully, the GoB thugs and security forces are defying basic human rights laws and conventions. While the GoB is capable of identifying, arresting and sentencing to imprisonment 10 individuals, with no proof, no witnesses, no case and no crime scene, it fails to try a murderer who was witnessed (by three witnesses) killing an innocent old man with a shotgun from a few centimeters distance!!

I’ll shed light on some stories and incidents that took place recently, and are completely disregarded by the GoB.

Case 1 – Security Forces Throwing Iron Rods at Protestors

In many incidents, the GoB accused the protestors of using iron rods and different metal objects, throwing them at the security forces, injuring them and in some cases killing others; like the case of Zahra Haidar. What we caught on camera is different though. Here’s a bunch of videos that show security forces throwing iron rods at protesters!

Case 2 – Thugs Protected by Security Forces

Thugs were seen and video-taped by Bahraini citizens in Dar Kulaib, a neighboring village of Safriya Palace, the King’s main and favorite residence and whose area is equivalent to three Shia villages in the Western part of the Island, terrorizing residents, vandalizing public and private property and throwing molotovs at the houses!

In the following videos, you can see security forces protecting thugs while they attack civilians in different parts of the country.

Case 3 – Security Forces, Brutally, Beating Citizens and Vandalizing Property

Security forces in Bahrain are enjoying the luxury of impunity. Those mercenaries who were hired by the regime to suppress the people’s voice come from different parts of the middle east and Asia, mainly from Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and Iraq. They're ruthless, brutal, merciless, cruel and callous.

Case 4 – Security Forces Throwing Molotov Cocktails

In many instances, the GoB accused protesters of using and throwing Molotov cocktails at security forces. This might have happened in isolated incidents, given the facts above, and in self-defense approaches. However, we have never ever heard the GoB talking about violations of its security forces!! Please see the videos...

Case 5 – SCANDAL!! Thugs Exchanging Molotov Cocktails

Case 100 – Torture

Security personnel, in the investigations and interrogations units are also being pampered by the impunity system. Many incidents were recorded and seen whereby young individuals are arrested, beaten, tortured, raped, threatened of rape and sexually harassed while the higher authorities are in an absolute mode of silence.
