Wide concern about the contradiction in the official discourse on human rights and the silence on violations in Bahrain

Western governments are facing increasing pressures and are facing widespread criticism to turn a blind eye to the abuses committed in Bahrain, the latest of which was with the French government, which is looking for solutions to get out of the impasse that contradicts its discourse with its real positions on human rights.
A private document included an interrogation text submitted by French parliament member Xavier Baluzkevich to Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian about Paris’ position on the continued violation of basic freedoms in Bahrain.
The position of this parliamentarian who represents the Republic on the Move party, founded by the current French President Emmanuel Macron, has sparked a political storm in France, exposing the falseness of the allegations made by some parties that it is a champion of republican values.
In his question to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baluzkevich drew attention to the increasing frequency of arrests of political figures by the Bahraini authorities since February 2011. He explicitly referred to Hassan Mushaima, the leader of the political opposition in Bahrain, and Dr. Abduljalil al-Singace, an activist and human rights defender.
The French MP expressed his concern about the violation of their fundamental freedoms, especially given their rapidly deteriorating health conditions.
The concerns raised by the French politician opened the eyes of a number of activists in the capital, Paris, to come along with recent observations made by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and other major human rights groups, which alerted the international community to the dire human rights situation inside Bahrain.
