Less than a month after he was deported from Bahrain, Salah Al Bandar is to address an audience at the UK’s House of Lords. Obviously, he has found a kindred spirit in Lord Avebury, vice-chairman of the UK’s Parliamentary Human Rights Group.
In many circles Lord Avebury is seen as a person who has in the past played a questionable role in trying to undermine the image of Bahrain. Consequently, the two have much in common.
Short of that the Al Bandar saga has failed to capture the interest of the English media and there is scarcely any mention even in the tabloid press of his proclamations that he was called a ‘British spy.’ On the contrary, the man’s presence in the UK has been ignored.

Yesterday the Tribune received a terse invitation to an event to be held in London this week, billed as ‘a meeting with’ the now locally notorious Salah Al Bandar.
In one week’s time, on Saturday October 5, in committee room 3A in the Lords, Al Bandar will speak with the apparent support of this new mentor.http://www.bahraintribune.com/PrintPage.asp
