At least the doctors had the chance to speak in court and the defence
lawyers could forward a case, even if largely ignored. In this case, the
first 11 defendants in the Feb 14th Youth Coalition, the defendants
can’t speak, torture is ignored and the Judge leaves room whilst defence
lawyers are putting their cases. Instead of yapping on about bombing
Syria, US and UK should put pressure on Bahrain, a much easier place to
get change.
Naji is a human rights defender and Director of the Bahrain Youth
Society for Human rights. He has been tortured extensively, went to
hospital twice and boycotted today’s proceedings as Judge Dhahrani is
totally biased and a member of the Khalifa clan. Today’s session was
postponed and the next session on 29th September, will sentence eleven
people including Rihanna al Mousawi, who’ve had no real defence.
