Rajab has recently revealed an attention-grabbing step that translated into determined and continuous efforts to escalate the issue of the torture practiced, in person, by the “spoiled” son of the King Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa against a group of prisoners. One of these prisoners is the well known religious cleric Shaikh Mohammed Habib Al-Miqdad, who suffered from a nonstop torture, beatings and verbal abuse.

Rajab – on his Twitter account – mentioned that he will soon move to highlight the issues of torture practiced by Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa on the detainees and athletes for the British media and social networking, taking advantage of the presence of the King’s son in England next summer where he will attend the Olympics Games to be hosted by London’s Metropolitan in the period between July 27 to August 12 this year. The King’s son is attending the games as the President of the Bahrain Olympic Committee.
