Whose human rights?

Al Wefaq and the rest of the seven societies have been screaming irrationally, in the international arena for the past year or so, that they are being stigmatised, being tortured in prison and most of their confessions were taken under duress. What about what your terrorists did, cutting the Muezzin's tongue out, torturing and killing innocent people, what was that, if not heinous?

Their favourite tune is that the government favours Sunnis to work in ministries. The various international human rights groups with whom Al Wefaq and the rest have built strong relationships over the years, have compiled a load of nonsense against Bahrain from the opposition which has naturally given us a bad reputation.

On May 6, a home-made bomb exploded in Eker and as usual many policemen were injured. The focal point here is where were the human rights societies that operate freely in Bahrain? Why did they not voice their condemnations, especially Nabeel Rajab? These police are human and are out there every day protecting us. Does the human rights violation only manifest itself to the Shia sect? What about the rest of the people living here?

It is public knowledge that his society has been defunct for the longest time and in spite of that, some human rights groups in America, bestowed on him four prizes, for his excellent work! Correct me if I am wrong, what has he done for Bahrain, besides chanting slogans for regime change? Where was he when Asians were attacked, aren't they human too? What is really amusing is that he prides himself on being a Samaritan for his cause, travelling from one country to another representing his defunct society, spreading lies and being financed, of course, by America and Iran.

Mr Al Hamad said that on May 3 on Al Alam TV, Nabeel Rajab was even praised for the prizes and his achievement by the host. Then Nabeel spoke as head of his society (which is defunct) thanked Al Alam and Press TV, for their continued support for their cause and blamed the rest of the Arab media for not covering them. What he failed to admit is that the Arab media have at last woken up to their blatant lies, which is a blessing for Bahrain.

Mr Khamees (a Bahraini Shia) has worked for Interpol at the Interior Ministry for years, including his children. None of them are with Al Wefaq and they categorically oppose everything they stand for. Mr Khamees and his family have been terrorised by his own sect, for refusing to support them unconditionally. Mr Al Hamad showed us a video clip in which Mr Khamees disclosed what these people did to him and his family.

First they burned part of his house then they stole everything they wanted. On April 19, the same thugs decided to bulldoze the rest of his house when his wife screamed "stop we are in the house". Their reply was "we will bulldoze it, on top of all your heads!" Mr Al Hamad said that even Netanyahu would make an effort in making sure that the house in empty, before he gives the order to bulldoze it.

Now I ask you, is this peaceful? Aren't we all entitled to choose what kind of regime we want? They are terrorising people and forcing them to be on their terrorist agendas. The human rights groups had irrefutable evidence, where were they? No one condemned even though there were clear signs of abuse and collateral damage; no one supported this family and the seven societies' silence was literally, deafening!

Mr Al Hamad also showed us another video clip of a man kneeling in worship, to a "Pearl Roundabout" model, apparently there is a rumour that the seven societies each have one in their headquarters, because it has become a religious symbol of their so-called revolution. What has the world come to, instead of worshipping Mecca, they prefer to worship a model of a demolished roundabout! This is pure unadulterated fetishism!

They are so proud that they took their model to Kuwait to show it off to Abdul Hameed Dashti and the rest that are in support of the opposition.

Last but not least, Abdulhadi Al Khawaja claims that he has a Danish passport and the Danish authorities are going to great lengths to obtain consent from the government for his release. The allegations against him seem to raise a red flag. Is he a spy and if he is, I wonder who exactly is he and the rest working for? Why does he and the rest of the dissidents abroad who also hold foreign passports, want to topple the regime and for whom?
