** Breaking the Silence: Bahraini Women Political Prisoners Expose Systemic Abuses
------------------------------------------------------------

ADHRB will be holding a Congressional briefing next week on women political prisoners in Bahrain and women's rights in the region more broadly. ADHRB's event "Breaking the Silence: Bahraini Women Political Prisoners Expose Systemic Abuses" will take place on Tuesday, 29 October at 10 am in 421 Cannon House Office Building.

The briefing will provide an in-depth overview of the cases of nine former and current female political prisoners in Bahrain, tracking their cases through their arrest, interrogation and torture, unfair trial, and detention in appalling conditions at the women’s prison in Isa Town. The panelists will discuss these cases and the commonalities among the experience of these women, as well as place their cases in a broader context, including regional and global trends in torture, ill treatment, and detention of women. They will also provide recommendations on how the United States and Congress can push for the release of the remaining women political prisoners and use its influence to improve the general human rights situation in Bahrain.
