Manama: A human rights watchdog will hold a rally near Bahrain’s biggest shopping complex today to demand greater official efforts to help free two Bahraini citizens at Guantanamo Bay.
“We are holding the protest to demand that the Bahraini government work hard to close this sad chapter for the Bahraini families who have been waiting for more than five years for the return of their relatives,” the now-dissolved Bahrain Centre for Human Rights yesterday said in a statement.

Manama: A human rights watchdog will hold a rally near Bahrain’s biggest shopping complex today to demand greater official efforts to help free two Bahraini citizens at Guantanamo Bay.
“We are holding the protest to demand that the Bahraini government work hard to close this sad chapter for the Bahraini families who have been waiting for more than five years for the return of their relatives,” the now-dissolved Bahrain Centre for Human Rights yesterday said in a statement.
“The demonstration will be a symbolic action to remind the authorities of the ‘forgotten’ detainees and their responsibility towards them.”
Juma Al Dossari and Eisa Al Murbati are still detained without charge at the US-run detention centre.
“They have been held without trial at Guantanamo Bay for more than five years. Both of them have young children. Their lawyers have said that they are in bad physical and mental condition,” the centre said.
