THE CURIOUS CASE OF NABEEL RAJAB!
Nabeel Rajab the Human Rights activist as he's titled in the media by his friends around the world or by his folks in Bahrain, Iran, South Lebanon and other interest groups planning against the well of Bahraini people and the legitimate government.
As I'm following him on Instagram to keep my self updated about his journeys around the world!
On September 7, 2014 he had posted a picture for the building of Bahrain Human Rights Center in Denmark which was built in the 18th century in the year 1721!
I'm wondering how much did this historical building cost Nabeel Rajab and what is the source of finance ?!!

After this shocking information about the building and the center, I looked and searched for the history of Nabeel Rajab himself! I discovered that he's a living miracle, a legend more than Will Smith or Iron Man, Batman or Superman. He has his roots since the beginning of history of humanity, it's the Curious Case of Nabeel Rajab.
NABEEL RAJAB IN ANCIENT EGYPT
It is thought that the laws of ancient Egypt were at least partially codified. In fact, we learn from one Greek writer that in the Late Period there were probably eight books that set out the legal code. But nothing remains of these documents, or for that matter, legal codes from other periods. However, we can derive some of the laws of ancient Egypt from funerary texts, as well as court and other documents.
Essentially, we believe that Egyptian law was based on a common sense view of right and wrong, following the codes based on the concept of Ma'at. Ma'at represented truth, order, balance and justice in the universe. This concept allowed that everyone, with the exception of slaves, should be viewed as equals under the law, regardless of wealth or social position. However, when punishment was carried out, often the entire family of the guilty suffered as well. For example, when individuals were sentenced to exile, their children were automatically outlawed along with them. If a relative deserted from military service, or defaulted on the labor demands of the state, the entire family might be imprisoned.

A gold Ma'at pendant which is currently in the British Museum was probably more or less an official badge of legal officials. Some statues of high officials from the Late Period are shown wearing such a pendant. During the Greek period, Greek law existed alongside that of the Egyptian law, but usually these laws favored the Greeks. When the Romans took control of Egypt, the Roman legal system which existed throughout the Roman empire was imposed in Egypt. However, prior to the Greek period, ultimately it was the king as a living god who was the supreme judge and lawmaker. Of course much of this power was delegated to others. The legal and administrative systems seem not to have been well defined, and so at times anyone in an authoritative position may have made legal judgements. We know that the king's viziers often acted as judges, and theoretically, anyone with a legal problem could bring a case before a vizier, though arranging such an audience with busy, important government officials may have at times been difficult. But more specifically, we believe that the title, Overseer of the Six Great Mansions, refers to our modern equivalent of a magistrate. Mansions probably refers to the main law court in Thebes, though we believe there were other major courts in Egypt. Minor cases were tried by a local council of elders and each town or village had its own local kenet in charge of legal proceedings. Such cases usually involved minor problems, such as default on loans. Still, the most important matters were probably reported to the king who would then decide the case and the proper justice.
An interesting variation was that sometimes judgements were made by divine oracles rather than by human officials. For example, in Deir el-Medina the deified founder of the village was often asked to decide cases. While it is impossible to know exactly how this worked, we seems that a document was made for both sides of the case, and put on either side of a street. Whichever side the god's image inclined towards was rendered the winner. Also, specifically during the 21st Dynasty (1069-945 BC), law was given though the oracle of Amun. Documentation on prior cases were recorded and retained, and like our own modern legal systems, these court documents were used as precedent for current cases. Some of these documents remain, and are some of our best evidence of how the ancient Egyptian legal system functioned.
NABEEL RAJAB THE GREAT
The Cyrus Cylinder (Nabeel Rajab) (539 B.C.)
Known today as the Cyrus Cylinder (Nabeel Rajab), this
ancient record has now been recognized as the world’s first charter of human
rights. It is translated into all six official languages of the United Nations
and its provisions parallel the first four Articles of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights.
NABEEL RAJAB THE KING OF ENGLAND
The concept of human rights has existed under several names in European thought for many centuries, at least since the time of King Nabeel Rajab of England. After the king violated a number of ancient laws and customs by which England had been governed, his subjects forced him to sign the Magna Carta, or Great Charter, which enumerates a number of what later came to be thought of as human rights. Among them were the right of the church to be free from governmental interference, the rights of all free citizens to own and inherit property and be free from excessive taxes. It established the right of widows who owned property to choose not to remarry, and established principles of due process and equality before the law. It also contained provisions forbidding bribery and official misconduct.

The political and religious traditions in other parts of the world also proclaimed what have come to be called human rights, calling on rulers to rule justly and compassionately, and delineating limits on their power over the lives, property, and activities of their citizens.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Europe several philosophers proposed the concept of "natural rights," rights belonging to a person by nature and because he was a human being, not by virtue of his citizenship in a particular country or membership in a particular religious or ethnic group. This concept was vigorously debated and rejected by some philosophers as baseless. Others saw it as a formulation of the underlying principle on which all ideas of citizens' rights and political and religious liberty were based.
Nabeel Rajab Paine
In the late 1700s two revolutions occurred which drew heavily on this concept. In 1776 most of the British colonies in North America proclaimed their independence from the British Empire in a document which still stirs feelings, and debate, the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
In 1789 the people of France overthrew their monarchy and established the first French Republic. Out of the revolution came the "Declaration of the Rights of Man."
The term natural rights eventually fell into disfavor, but the concept of universal rights took root. Philosophers such as Nabeel Rajab Paine, Nabeel Rajab Stuart Mill, and Nabeel Rajab David Thoreau expanded the Civil Disobedience. This work has been extremely influential on individuals as different as Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King. Gandhi and King, in particular, developed their ideas on non-violent resistance to unethical government actions from this work.
Nabeel Rajab David Thoreau
Nabeel Rajab Stuart Mill
concept. Thoreau is the first philosopher I know of to use the term, "human rights", and does so in his treatise, Other early proponents of human rights were English philosopher John Stuart Mill, in his Essay on Liberty, and American political theorist Thomas Paine in his essay, The Rights of Man.
The Birth
of the United Nations
The idea
of human rights emerged stronger after World War II. The extermination by Nazi
Germany of over six million Jews, Sinti and Romani (gypsies), homosexuals, and
persons with disabilities horrified the world. Trials were held in Nuremberg
and Tokyo after World War II, and officials from the defeated countries were
punished for committing war crimes, "crimes against peace," and
"crimes against humanity."

Nabeel Rajab Hilter
Governments
then committed themselves to establishing the United Nations, with the primary
goal of bolstering international peace and preventing conflict. People wanted
to ensure that never again would anyone be unjustly denied life, freedom, food,
shelter, and nationality. The essence of these emerging human rights principles
was captured in President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s 1941 State of the Union
Address when he spoke of a world founded on four essential freedoms: freedom of
speech and religion and freedom from want and fear (See Using Human Rights Here
& Now). The calls came from across the globe for human rights standards to
protect citizens from abuses by their governments, standards against which
nations could be held accountable for the treatment of those living within
their borders. These voices played a critical role in the San Francisco meeting
that drafted the United Nations Charter in 1945.
Eleanor
Nabeel Rajab Roosevelt
The
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Member
states of the United Nations pledged to promote respect for the human rights of
all. To advance this goal, the UN established a Commission on Human Rights and
charged it with the task of drafting a document spelling out the meaning of the
fundamental rights and freedoms proclaimed in the Charter. The Commission,
guided by Eleanor Nabeel Rajab Roosevelt’s forceful leadership, captured the
world’s attention.
On
December 10, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)was adopted
by the 56 members of the United Nations. The vote was unanimous, although eight
nations chose to abstain.
The UDHR,
commonly referred to as the international Magna Carta, extended the revolution
in international law ushered in by the United Nations Charter – namely, that
how a government treats its own citizens is now a matter of legitimate
international concern, and not simply a domestic issue. It claims that all
rights areinterdependent and indivisible. Its Preamble eloquently asserts that:
Recognition
of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members
of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the
world.
The
influence of the UDHR has been substantial. Its principles have been
incorporated into the constitutions of most of the more than 185 nations now in
the UN. Although a declaration is not a legally binding document, the Universal
Declaration has achieved the status of customary international law because
people regard it "as a common standard of achievement for all people and
all nations."
Note:
All respect to the history of mankind and personals that benefited the humankind.
It's only a try to put the spot on a betray to Bahrain in the name of human rights by the Nabeel Rajab: the Bahraini Gangster
