MANAMA — Dr Salah Al Bandar, a British national of Sudanese origin who was deported from Bahrain earlier last month on charges of sedition with intentions of disturbing national unity and undermining the election process, is to address later this week an audience at the UK’s House of Lords, explaining his side of story.
According to a local daily, Bahrain Tribune, Al Bandar has the backing of Lord Avebury, vice-chairman of the UK’s Parliamentary Human Rights Group, who has in the past played a questionable role in trying to undermine the image of the kingdom. Consequently, the two have much in common.
