On December 22nd, in the absence of law enforcement by Government
of Bahrain and Ministry of Interior. Bahrain witnessed another
operation by Hezbollah's (Alwefaq) militias called "Promise of
Martyrs". The operation as usual blocked roads, poured oil on the
streets, burned tires, threatened civilians and disturbed the tiny land.
From a while we heard the news of signing
a contract by the Ministry of Interiors with former Metropolitan police
assistant commissioner John Yates to oversee reform of its police force after
reports of human rights abuses.
Mr. Yates has been asked to overhaul the controversial service with
John Timoney, a former head of Miami police, to ensure its procedures meet
international human rights standards. Damien McElroy, The Telegraph
Bahrain's ministry of
interior notes that while in the Miami job, Timoney "succeeded amongst
other things in reducing crime and implementing proper practices for the use of
force". Guardians said.
BICI report:
“The expatriate population in Bahrain is alleged to have been the
target of violent attacks during the events of February/March 2011. Most
complaints received by the Commission pertained to physical injuries, property
damage, economic loss, deprivation of the freedom of movement, denial of
medical treatment and attacks at places of worship”
"During various demonstrations, antiexpatriate and guest worker
chants and slogans were heard. emonstrators held banners targeting naturalised
Bahrainis, threatening them and asking them to leave the country. Some of these
banners read: Bahrain is free, free. Oh naturalised get out; Bahrain is free
free, Oh naturalised, Oh mercenary, Oh killer, your departure time has come;
and Shia plus Sunnis minus naturalised equals a loving country”

"The Commission received reports that foreigners were attacked on
the streets of Manama. A report prepared by the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign
Affairsdetails an incident on 13 March in which an angry mob locked
approximately 40 Pakistanis in Alkuthoot Restaurant and tried to set it on
fire"
"A group of individuals entered a residential building in Manama
that was inhabited mostly by Asian workers. The group began attacking
residents, among whom was a Pakistani citizen named Mr Abdul Malik Gholam
Rasul, who was beaten to death"
"A Pakistani construction worker and Muezzin (person who performs the
Islamic call to prayer) suffered serious brain injuries after he was brutally assaulted
and had his tongue severely lacerated"
"The Commission received statements from 19 complainants indicating
that foreign nationals were discriminated against and mistreated by medical
staff and protestors while visiting SMC during February and March 2011”
"A female member of the Sunni community was stopped by protesters
while driving her vehicle. The protesters then attacked her vehicle with
sticks and knives"
"The Commission received 434 complaints from members of the Sunni community. These included claims of physical abuse, verbal
abuse and threats to personal safety"
"The Commission received 102 complaints regarding physical abuse and 120 complaints regarding verbal abuse suffered by individuals
who claimed that they were targeted because they were Sunni. Several
individuals testified to having witnessed the physical assault of other
Sunnis"
"One witness stated that his colleagues arrived at work covered in their own
blood due to attacks by protesters on the way to work. Several individuals
claimed to have been the victim of armed assaults"
Why no one cares about these Human Rights Violations done by the what's called "Peaceful Protesters" asking for more political rights! by International media?
The Government of Bahrain, Ministry of Interior, John Yates and his assistant John Timoney must provide security solution for all citizens and residents.
The expatriates and sunnis must not feel discriminated and unsafe because of media campaigns, fake Human Rights organizations, and foreign pressures for more Political reforms neglecting the demands of more than 70% of population in Bahrain to live in peace.
