** Bahrain Suppresses Demonstrations Supporting Palestinians and Denouncing the Attack on Gaza
------------------------------------------------------------



13 November 2023 – Since the start of the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip on 7 October 2023, demonstrations have continued in various Arab and international cities denouncing what UN experts described as a “genocide ([link removed]) and ethnic cleansing ([link removed]) ”, to which defenseless civilians are subjected through the criminal bombing and ongoing Israeli massacres on the besieged Strip, which has so far resulted in the killing of more than 10,000 civilians, most of them are women and children, including more than 4,000 children, while more than 1,300 other children are still under the rubble.

In Bahrain, various regions and towns witnessed demonstrations, protests, and massive popular gatherings in solidarity with the Palestinian people, demanding a halt to the Abraham Accords between Arab states and Israel. However, the Bahraini government preferred to confront the peaceful movements with excessive repression, which led to several injuries among the demonstrators, and launched arrest campaigns and summonses that targeted participants in these events in a clear violation of the freedom of assembly and expression of opinion. The number of detainees reached approximately thirty, and it is still rising as daily demonstrations continue.

He was sentenced to 23 years imprisonment with revocation of his nationality. He is still in the New Dry Dock Detention Center, which is designated for imprisoned individuals under the age of 21. Haider currently suffers from several health problems due to medical negligence by the prison administration and his denial of treatment. Some of these problems have not yet been diagnosed due to negligence, which makes his health condition worse.
