Bahrain: Right to Association under Attack as Ministry of Justice Moves to Dissolve Islamic Action Society “AMAL”

Authorities continue to discriminate against women, arbitrarily detain children, shut down civic space, and pressure human rights defenders.

IFEX joins rights groups urging EU leaders to press Bahrain to free EU nationals Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja and Mohammed Habib Al-Muqdad after nearly 14 years of unjust detention and human rights abuses.

Authorities responded to prisoner protests with severe retaliation, including the violent suppression of inmates and collective punishment measures.
