The Trump administration's total disregard for human rights
Pay attention : Time Zone
Friday, February 12, 2021, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. ET (GMT-5)
10 years after the Bahraini government violently cracked down on mass
pro-democracy protests in February 2011, the country remains riven by levels of
unrest, political crisis, and human rights violations. Bahrainis continue to
protest and demonstrate almost nightly, continuing their calls for greater
political and economic freedoms as well as greater respect for human, civil, and
political rights. The government continues to meet these demonstrations with
force and violence, arresting dissidents and critics, and filling jails with
peaceful protesters. These moves by the government have not led to sustainable
peace, but have helped fuel dissatisfaction among many.
After four years of the Trump administration's total disregard for human rights
in U.S. policy toward Bahrain, this panel will discuss what steps Congress and
Biden’s administration should take to address the ongoing crisis in Bahrain.
The panel will address the efforts to release political prisoners and end the
culture of impunity in the country. In addition, the panel will address ways to
pressure the Biden administration to *end U.S. military support* for the
Bahraini government.
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the panelists.
