Three human rights organisations, Bahrain Forum for Human Rights, Salam for Democracy and Human Rights (Salam DHR), and Gulf Institute for Democracy and Human Rights (GIDHR), released on Friday (November 23, 2018) a new report entitled: “Bahrain- Elections without Integrity”.

Chairman of the Bahrain Interfaith Center Sheikh Maytham Al-Salman participated in the press conference held in Lancaster Hotel in Beirut.

Al-Salman said that “the elections to be held on Saturday, November 24, 2018, in undemocratic and oppressive environment can’t meet the aspirations of Bahrainis in reaching the desired political and social stability.”

Around 40 MPs in the European Parliament expressed that they wished the upcoming elections would be a chance to reduce tension and allow open dialogue, rather than enacting increasingly repressive measures.”
