The below letter was published in the Guardian<\/a> on April 12, 2019.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

We, the undersigned, write to express our deep concern for the family of Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei, Director of the Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD).<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Alwadaei was granted refugee status in the UK in 2012 in recognition of the dangers he faced in Bahrain. While in London, Mr Alwadaei has continued to fight for the rights of torture victims and prisoners sentenced to death for peacefully protesting against the Bahraini regime.<\/span><\/p>\n

The family of Mr Alwadaei has been subjected to numerous human rights violations by the Bahraini authorities in response to BIRD\u2019s work, including arbitrary detention, unfair trial <\/span>and torture or other ill treatment<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention concluded<\/span><\/a> that Mr Alwadaei\u2019s family were \u201cdeprived of their liberty, interrogated and prosecuted for their family ties with Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei and that these were acts of reprisal\u201d. The Bahraini Government responded<\/span><\/a> with a smear campaign of false and misleading information about Mr. Alwadaei and his family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Such abuse is a patent attempt to intimidate Mr Alwadaei to prevent him from continuing his work. This has been condemned by over 80 Members of the UK Parliament<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The British Government has repeatedly committed<\/span><\/a> to support human rights defenders.<\/span>It must condemn the persecution of Mr Alwadaei and his family, assert his right to criticise abuses in Bahrain, and advocate for the release of his unlawfully detained family members. Security assistance to Bahrain should be conditional on Bahrain\u2019s adherence to its international human rights obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n
