Urgent Letter
Security Forces and Random Suppression target Activists and Patriotic Figures
Manama, 28 June 2007
Ladies and gentlemen, members of international NGOs, authorities, and Media
Best regards from Bahrain.
Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights (BYSHR) addresses this urgent letter to you about targeting and randomly suppressing a protest rally against Bahraini Prime Minister.
Ladies and gentlemen,
We would like to inform you that a group of activists and patriotic figures are planning to launch a rally against Bahraini Prime Minister, Sheikh Khalifa Ben Salman Al Khalifa in protest on granting him UN Human Development and Housing Award. The rally will start at Manama district and moves, then, to the UN building on June 30, 2007.
Ladies and gentlemen,
BYSHR believes that Fighting Riot Forces (FRF) will attempt the protest randomly and will target participants by using rubber bullets and tear-gas. FRF use such weapons intensively against children, women, youth, and seniors.
Ladies and gentlemen,
We announce that we expect security attacks on the prospected peaceful rally. FRF has committed similar violations against participants in previous peaceful events calling for democracy, freedom, and justice in Bahrain. FRF is asserting on its role to fractionate the bones of participants and using sound bombs to disperse participants, in addition to random arrests and torture in detention centers.
Ladies and gentlemen,
BYSHR looks forward to your interest in following up the consequences of the rally on Saturday, July 30. BYSHR calls upon you to move urgently to stop the expected acts of Bahraini Ministry of Interior, including detention and using FRF to suppress the peaceful rally.
Sincerely,
Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights
