Rights Center Asks Al Khalifa to End Crackdown
The center, in a post on its Twitter page, underlined that freedom of speech is a natural right of all people.
It said the regime should end its repressive measures whose aim is undermining people’s demands for freedom.
The center further stressed that the illegal crackdown has only led to insecurity and an atmosphere of fear in the country.
Bahrain, a close ally of the US in the Persian Gulf region, has been witnessing almost daily protests against the ruling Al Khalifa dynasty since early 2011, with Manama using heavy-handed measures in an attempt to crush the demonstrations.
Scores of Bahrainis have been killed and hundreds of others injured and arrested in the ongoing crackdown on the peaceful demonstrations.
Amnesty International and many other international rights organizations have frequently censured the Bahraini regime for the rampant human rights abuses against opposition groups and anti-regime protesters.
