Is this the Al-Khalifa's 'reforms'

They murder children with teargas, they terrorize the rest with the threat of suffocation in their sleep!

Missing Zakir Majeed Baloch, abducted by Pakistani authorities, June 8, 2009

Zakir Majeed Baloch, 27, and a Master’s student in English from Lasbela University of Agriculture, Water and Marine Sciences, was abducted by Pakistan’s intelligence agencies from Mastung Balochistan, on 8th of June, 2009. He was abducted while he was on his way from Parangabad market to a friend Waheed Baloch’s house. Waheed Baloch and Basit Baloch are eye witnesses this incident. The eyewitness’s accounts have also been published by Asian Human Rights Commission’s webpage. It says:
“His alleged abductors drove up in two cars without number plates and asked the young man a few questions, saying that they were intelligence agents.They took Majeed away with them in their cars without making any charges. One car was a Toyota Vego, the other a Toyota Surf SSR.”

Zakir Majeed was a human rights activist and was working to raise the voice for the thousands of other innocent Balochs who have been abducted by the intelligence agencies of Pakistan and against the grosshuman rights abuses committed by Pakistani occupied Balochistan. Zakir also raised his voice for the United Nation’s official John Solecki to get him released when he was abducted, his support for the cause of John Solecki’s release was on humanitarian basis and the this was the primary reason that Zakir Majeed himself got abducted by the Pakistan’s agencies as they didn’t wanted John Solecki to be released so that Baloch movement could have been presented as a terrorist movement by Pakistan. ...

Domestic violence is west Africa’s biggest threat: report | The Raw Story

Husbands, not strangers or men with guns, are now the biggest threat to women in post-conflict west Africa, according to a report by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) released on Tuesday.

The IRC report, Let Me Not Die Before My Time: Domestic Violence in West Africa, based on data collected over 10 years by the IRC in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Ivory Coast, said domestic violence is the “most urgent, pervasive and significant protection issue for women in west Africa”.

It calls on the international community to recognise domestic violence as a humanitarian issue and to increase funding significantly to address the problem, saying: “If the humanitarian community ignores what has been considered a ‘private matter’, it will fail to confront one of the most significant public health crises and primary obstacles to women’s empowerment in post-war societies.”   ...

Farzana Majeed, sister of abducted Zakir Majeed, addresses the press - Crisis Balochistan

Karachi: Banok Farzana Majeed, sister of prominent student leader Zakir Majeed, talked to reporters and visitors at a hunger strike in Karachi on January 31, saying that her brother Zakir Majeed was abducted by state secret agencies along with two of his friends in Mastung on July 8th 2009.

Farzana Majeed said her brother’s friends were recovered from roadsides with fatal injuries and showing signs of having suffered severe torture.

Farzana, along with numerous relatives of abducted political workers, is currently holding a hunger strike protest in Karachi. She said she would not bow to Pakistani state pressure and will continue to seek international support for the release of her brother and other missing persons.

She lambasted the international community for its apathy towards the tragedies that the Baloch nation is experiencing at the hands of the Pakistani state.

She asked the world community to consider the condition of a mother whose son has been abducted by state agencies and who hears news daily of abducted political workers' mutilated corpses showing up in desolated areas across the length and breadth of Balochistan. ...

I stand before you today to remind you of this young man and of thousands of victims and shattered families, whose regime that is suppressing them is getting support from some of your regimes. I ask you to send an independent international investigation committee, not funded by the regime and not engrossed by the regime's offerings, to convey to you and to the world the buried truth of what is happening on ground… we are relying on international pressure in order to resolve our case. I thank you for your patience and interest and leave you with this short reportage that I've prepared, hoping that it will give you a deeper insight into what happened and what is still taking place in Bahrain.

Bahrain in UN spotlight over political prisoners

Bahrain faced calls at the United Nations on Monday to release its political prisoners, including prominent rights activist Nabeel Rajab who is charged with tweeting insults against the government.

The Gulf kingdom came under scrutiny by members of the UN Human Rights Council, which is examining Bahrain's rights record as part of its four-yearly review process.

"France condemns the arbitrary arrests and ongoing charges against defenders of human rights, trade unionists and campaigners for simply expressing their opinions," said French ambassador to the UN in Geneva Nicolas Niemtchinow, who highlighted the case of Rajab and fellow activist Abdulhadi al-Khawaja.

Rajab, who heads the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, has been leading anti-government protests following a brutal crackdown on Shiite-led demonstrations against the ruling Sunni Al-Khalifa dynasty in March 2011....

Rajab was detained on May 5 for "insulting a statutory body via Twitter" and also faces trial for taking part in a Manama demonstration three months ago.

Khawaja was convicted last June of plotting to overthrow the government and has been on a hunger strike since February 8.

At the meeting France requested a "humanitarian response" for the dissident and Denmark said he should be released for treatment.

The United States meanwhile called for a review of the convictions of all people involved in non-violent protest and Britain recommended new trials for all defendants convicted in military courts.

Bahrain: A Hot Potato Across The Persian Gulf

Fifteen months into their uprising, Bahrainis balk at both the proposed union with Riyadh and statements reviving the Iranian claim to their country.

Tensions are running high between the two coasts of the Persian Gulf.

The war of words pitting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain against Iran may be part of a regional struggle that is essentially over Syria rather than Bahrain. But Bahrain is its current focus, and it is the Bahraini people who are being made to pay the price.

The escalation was triggered by the announcement of Saudi Arabia’s plans to merge with Bahrain under the guise of forming a Gulf union, and fuelled by Iranian statements that were made in response....
