Police chief shifted to foreign ministry

MANAMA – Bahrain’s police chief was on Wednesday shifted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as ambassador.

His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa issued two royal decrees on Wednesday. The first decree was to appoint Chief of Public Security Major-General Tariq Mubarak bin Daina at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while the second decree was the appointment of Major-General Adel bin Khalifa bin Hamad Al Fadhel as President of National Security with the rank of minister.

The move comes a few months after the release of the report of the Bahrain Independent Commission for Inquiry (BICI) that confirmed ‘excesses’ on detainees during arrest and detention. Following the report that was published in November, several police officers were suspended and all cases related to police torturing detainees being deliberated by police courts were referred to the public prosecution, in order to be trialed at civil courts.

The Ministry of Interior also announced hiring international experts to help in enhancing human rights and police work among its personnel. …source
