But the untold story about Bahrain which is so many people never heard of is impressive too. Do you know, that Bahrain is ruled by an absolute Monarchy since 1783, when Al-Khalifa tribe conquered the island and dominates its society and the government. The Bahraini people are deprived of their basic Rights, such as civil liberties, political and social rights. The freedom of expression, speech, association and assembly are banned by law. Scores of innocent citizens have been killed so far, either shot down by the anti riot police during the peaceful demonstrations or under torture, thousands of political prisoners are held without charge or trial and hundreds of Bahraini families are forcibly exiled. Human rights violation became systematic in Bahrain, discrimination against the majority is an official policy where shia'a citizens are not allowed to hold significant posts in the Bahrain defense and internal security forces. Besides they are banned from holding sensitive government positions and managerial ranks of the civil services. Evidences, documented facts, testimonies of victims, important international and national human rights reports are numeros.
