British authorities arrest a Bahraini activist and accuse him for terrorism. Abdulraoof Alshayeb is one of the veterans campaigners and political demanders for human rights and democracy in Bahrain. He has more than 17,000 followers on social network twitter. Since he was young, he has been fearlessly fighting for social justice against the suppression of the regime.

He fought against religious sectarian discrimination against Shiites, which is remarkably something they still suffer brutally from in Bahrain. British authorities had recently arrested him accusing him for terrorism matters. He was released after two days of that arrest, with a guarantee of not leaving the country, and they reserved his passport. Also, he was banned from using Twitter in a direct or indirect matter. He had to go to the police station to sign in twice a week. He was probably banned from using Twitter so that his political views do not affect the regimes policies and elections being held next October. It is important to mention that he had never called for the use of violence and has no relation with terrorism or terror actions. On the contrary, he has clear and frank statements against violence terrorists and terrorism. He calls in a very clear state for peaceful change. The use of twitter in the pro-democracy movements is a crucial tool in for opposition movements, as it is a safe tool that can be used to raise demands and to criticize governments that do not believe in freedom of speech or freedom of press. Human rights leaders around the world are deeply concerned about his arrest and in particular this bail condition which will benefit the Bahraini ruling elite, thus by stopping him travelling to carry out a human rights campaign against the regime,and silence Alshayeb and regime criticizers at this stage raises doubts about the policies and lack of transparency of the upcoming elections.

These human rights leaders also want to know why his arrest was known about and publicly commented upon in Bahrain two hours before it took place and knew about it himself? And who was behind the leaking of the news threw government twitter accounts? They also question the timing of this arrest, for the tweets that he had been investigated about are back dated to 2012, and the information he was asked about are since December 2013 on his way back from Iraq back then. And they only choose to arrest him about them on the end of April and beginning of May 2014. All of which are two weeks prior to the King Hamad and his son Nassers -who is accused by British courts for torturing Bahraini people- visit to the United Kingdom. And before 3 weeks of the court's decision to condemn the British government for selling spy devices to Bahrain without disclosing what they are. And the decision of the court of the detection and announcing the name of the king's son (Nasser) to the public in the British press, officially announcing that he will face trial as an administrator for torture, after resolving the issue of his diplomatic immunity next October.

Abdulraoof Alshayeb in few lines: A- He began his political activities before he reached the age of fourteen, he used to distribute a leaflets against the dictatorship regime, and participated in mass rallies demanding the rights of the oppressed Shiite majority, and demanded the regime to stop the killing of innocent people, and stop the ongoing violations of human rights. B- In 1979, when he was fifteen years old, he aligned a mass riot through incepting a project of the funeral of martyr (MATAM ALSHAHEED) (after the regime killed his neighbor Jameel Ali). He encouraged through his speeches among the crowds on the need to reject injustice and sectarian discrimination practiced by the authority, and the need for establishing social justice, and equal opportunities to participate in the wealth and power. C- In 1979, after leading that movement, he was arrested for 3 months and exiled to Saudi Arabia in Al-Ahsa, due to the presence of extensions to his family there, where he continued his political mobility there. D - In 1980 as a result of his prominent role in aiding and abetting the Bahraini protesters, Saudi authorities arrested him. He stayed in jail for seven months there, and then was sent back to Bahrain due to fabricated charges claiming that he was involved in the murder of a policeman, the foundations of secret armed organizations aimed to toppling the regime. As a result, the sixteen-year-old boy spent six years in prison to 1986. E - After six years of detention without trial, because not having enough evidence to convict him on the claims against him. He was convicted of charges of participating in unlicensed rallies and was sentenced by local non-independent courts for six months. It is scandal for the brutal regime that he kept him in prison for five years and six months extra than he deserves according to their laws. F - After his release in 1986, he tried to take legal action against the government in the local courts for keeping him for 5 years and 6 months extra than the outstanding judgment and he demanded compensation and investigation about the responsibility for that. He was threatened to return him to prison once again if he continued his case.

G - At the end of 1986 he secretly immigrated to some Arab countries that are not related with security pacts with Bahrain and remained there till year1992. He then returned to Bahrain as part of a general pardon for all political and wanted by the Bahraini security system.

I- In 1993, He was targeted with an assassination, but was able to survive. But unfortunately, it took the life of his cousin martyr Mahmoud al-Moussawi, in a tragic car accident. J - As a result of the growing support for the petition which called for political reform, and due to crushing the movement demands for democracy, the Bahraini authorities arrested more than 100 opposition leaders and human rights activists who advocate freedom and democracy by at the end of 1994 and beginning of 1995. Alshayeb was one of them, the sentences against them varied from five years to lifetime and death. False allegations were brought up against the movements peaceful demands and they were accused by terrorism and using the weapons to overthrow the regime. K - After the arrest of 3 years, Alshayeb was brought to court, which sentenced him to ten years in prison with a fine of up to more than 50,000 dollars. As usual, charges were ready, the possession of weapons to overthrow the government, and the formation of a secret terrorist organization. L - In prison, at every time, AlShayeb was subjected to brutal psychological and physical torture, degrading treatment and the confiscation of his cash money and properties. M - In 1999, the Prince of Bahrain died, his elder son Hamad took over. He transformed Bahrain from a state to a kingdom and promised political reforms which was the release of political prisoners one of these steps. In 2001 all the political prisoners has been released, Alshayeb was among them after he spent 6 years in jail.

N- On February 14, 2002, the promises of the King were unheeded, He dissent the agreed Constitution by a new constitution grant, and gave himself full immunity, and restrict all of the authorities in his hand. Activists announced their return to human rights activities. Alshayeb establishing with a group of activists (The National Committee for Martyrs and Victims of Torture). The selection of its members was by the vote of a large number of families of martyrs and victims of torture in a general conference, and Alshayeb became chairman of this Committee. O - Torture and killings by firing on innocent unarmed civilian protesters as means to suppress popular demands are systematically exercised by the ruling regime in Bahrain. Foreigner paid policemen often preforms those actions and attacks. Bahrainis call them (mercenaries). Alshayeb sees that the presence of a Commission to defend the martyrs and victims of torture will limit the systematic abuses. P - After 2002 and 2004 Alshayeb led many demonstrations and protests demanding the trial of torturers, compensate the martyrs, rehabilitation of victims of torture and called for a mass rally in the time of Formula 1. Q - Before the mass rally of the Formula 1, and to prevent this happened, Alshayeb was arrested for a week on charges of prostitution which were fabricated allegation by the government. Although these courts are not independent and function according to the regime's policies. But still after Two years the trial court acquitted him due to false evidence against him. R - Printed and visual media exploited the case of Alshayeb systematically to destroy his reputation, using his name and picture constantly, until the verdict of innocence. They did not apologize for their distortion even after the acquittal.

S The targeting trails did not upheld the will of Alshayeb, as he continued putting pressure on the government and continues his human rights activities. In 2005, after the arrest of Abdulhadi Alk hawaja, head of Bahrain Center for Human Rights, Alshayeb led many protests demanding his release. The last one was blocking the highway to Saudi Arabia by lying down on the street. T - The regime arrested Alshayeb and his colleagues and suppressed their protest movement by inundation the protesting area by poison and tear gas. After 3 months of prison and due to international and interior pressure, the government had to release AlKhawaja, Alshayeb and their colleagues.

U - In 2006 the government fabricated another prostitution case against him, while he was in Januvia presenting torture report against Bahrain regime. He was sentenced for a year in his absence. On his way back to Bahrain transiting in London, he heard about the case, which push him to apply for political asylum in UK. He has been accepted as a political refugee in two days only, due to the evidence of targeting and the risk of torture and prison by returning to Bahrain. V - In 2007 Alshayeb and a group of activists, launched Bahrain Salvation movement (KHALAS). It called for overthrown the dictator government using peaceful methods and replace it with a free democracy regime believes in Human rights. Alshayeb was assigned a secretory-general for this movement. He called for civil disobedience to achieve the peoples demands.

X - Since Alshayeb got the asylum in 2006 till today in 2014, The Bahraini government has not stopped its pressure on the British embassy in Manama and on the British foreign affairs, to bring Alshayeb in to the Bahraini government by Interpol police for the terrorist accusations held against him. Because its the only wide accusation that foreign countries can cooperate with. Y - Since 2006 and till 2014, AlShayeb has been sentenced in many cases. The sentences vary between 5 years and lifetime in prison. The total years he has been sentenced for are 135 years. These sentences are because he is not in the country, if he was in Bahrain, it would not be strange if he was sentenced to death or was tortured to death. Z - After the peaceful revolution in Bahrain that started in February 2011, Alshayeb became the official spokesperson for the collation of 14 Feb (one of the revolution parties). Then Khalas movement liase with other 5 main organizations to lead a critical part of the revolution. ZZ- In November 2012, the Bahraini government withdrew the Bahraini nationality from 31 political activists. Alshayeb was one of them.

Bahrain: There were no calls for the use of violence or relation to terrorism from any known political organizations in Bahrain, and that is something that no independent International human rights organization has ever mentioned. On the other hand, there are plenty of reports from the global human rights organization, United Nations, Ministry of Foreign Affairs for UK and USA, UN Secretary-General, stated the Deterioration and Retreat of human rights in Bahrain. The ongoing activities of Bahraini activists like Alshayeb and his colleagues, made the Bahraini authorities accuse them with terrorism, to destroy their reputation which is very disappointing. And due to the continues targeting, attacking and killing by armed gangs, the foreign army who has been imported by Alkhalifa regime (mercenaries) and Saudi army who has invaded Bahrain by different deadly weapons upon to the regime request to suppress the legal revolution, Bahraini people had to defend themselves using simple and ancient methods against the invasion army who had interference in internal affairs. Bahraini regime has used different terrorizing methods in killing and assassinating activists.

An example for assassinating is Ahmed AlGhuraifi Killing under torture in prison like what happened to Kareem Fakhrawi . Murder by neglecting the treatment of patients in prisons leading to their death, such as the case of

Jaffar AlDurazi. Murder by throwing people from high buildings, such as the case of Salah Abbas. Running over people with police cars, such as Ali Baddah. Sniping activists, such as the case of Ridha Bu Hameed and Bahya AlAradi. Kidnapping, such as the case of Mahdi Abdulrahman. By burning and explosion, like what happened to Ali Faisal. Suffocating with poison gas that killed infant Sajida Faisal.

Executions field, such as Mahmood Hasan case. Drowning in the sea like what they did to Ahmed Almwali.

The Authority has trained civilian militias and provided them with various weapons in preparation for their gooey in the civil war against the peaceful protesters. Moreover, imprisonment has covered most layers of the community such as: Religious leaders, like Muhammed Ali AlMahfood Political leaders, like Abdul Wahab Hussain Social leaders, like Hasan Mushaima Academics, like Dr.Abduljalil AlSingace Human rights activists, like Nabeel Rajab and AbdulHadi AlKhawaja Doctors, like Dr.Ali AlAkri Athletes, like football player, Alaa Hubail Poets, like Ayaat AlQurmazi Women, like Rayhana AlMoosawi Policemen, like Faisal AlAlawi Teachers, like Mahdi Abo Deeb Field protestors, like Ali Sangoor Children, like Jihad AlSameea Nurses, like Ebrahim AlDimistani There are more than 5000 detainees and prisoners in Bahrain today, and more than that number are wanted and refugees. All of that is in a country which its overall population does not exceed half a million. The Bahraini regime continues marginalization and exclusion policy against the indigenous majority Muslim Shiites, the Shia population continue to be denied access to education, employment and decent housing and living. The regime have even attempted to socially engineer the make-up of the population in a policy of naturalization to allow citizenship to non Bahrainis and give them preferential treatment to jobs and housing over the Shia population.

The regime runs a relentless campaign to discredit the movement demands and try chocking it by accusing is with

terrorism and violence to earn the Western countries support. He destroy human rights activists reputation and those democracy supporters and labels them as terrorists. And the regime formed a fake parliament (with no real

role) with unjust parliamentary elections to hide its dictatorship policies.

However worryingly there is growing concern amongst the Bahraini community in the UK that sections of the

British state are being influenced by the Bahraini authorities to extend the harassment of the human rights

campaigners who lives in UK.

This has manifested itself in the disproportionate number of procedures such as frequently stop and search has been

made British authorities against the Bahraini human rights activists refugees in airports and entry ports by using powers that are meant to be invoked for the purpose of investigating potential terrorist suspects. The frequency of

these stops are currently being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints commission.

The British police were abusive when they raided AlShayebs house on the early morning of April 30, 2014 at 6:30 am. They brutally arrested him in front of his wife, sons, and his small child. He was handcuffed and taken to

Southwark custody suite which specifically deals with terrorists. They investigated with him for over two days,

questioning his involvement in terrorist activities.

The British police had also forced his family to leave the house for purposes of searching, which continued for two

days. Forcing his family to spend the night in a hotel till the next day.

The police took all the computers and hard discs, flashes, mobile phones and telephone chips. In addition to all the

important papers, correspondence, contracts, documents and all the cash, include his apartments rent which has

been ready to be paid in the end of the month. Police also raided his daughters house at the same time and took the Internet devices.

In addition to the inspection of his office and all computers used there at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where he

had worked for the past eight years. That made his managers cautious about him and thinking of dismissing him

from his job. He is still stopped from work despite the absence of any court judgment against him so far.

The hospital administration investigated with him about the charges brought against him by the police, about his

involvement in terrorist activities. All of which, harmed his image and reputation, as he was known for good

conduct and behavior in the hospital with the staff and patients, he had treated them all with the kindness even

those who belong to the royal family from Bahrain.

Alshayeb was released on the first of May 2014, on bail until September 10th, under the conditions that have been mentioned previously. Therefore Alshayeb had lived in oppression in Bahrain, forcing him to seek refuge and protection in Britain after serving more than 12 years in prison and more then twenty years in exile and Diaspora. And now he is being subjected to the same fate by the British system, who they have gave him the protection and political asylum. All because of dictations and pressures from Bahrain and Saudi Arabia authorities to arrest him and hand him over to Bahrain or at least discredit him internationally and turn his reputation from a fighter for human rights and democracy to a terrorist. Exactly how the Bahraini authorities sought and continues to discredit him with terrorism and the various criminal charges. The Bahraini regime is still pressing toward taking him to trial in all the media and political circles. It even went beyond that by inciting assassinating him in Iraq by the hands of terrorists, by encouraging publicly inciting boldly on television through the unofficial channels that are funded by the dictatorial regime of Bahrain. The Bahraini regime fund terrorism in Syria and has led many Bahraini youth to fight in Syria. Also, plenty of its parliament representatives have been spotted with fighters in Syria on battlefields, which condemns the system responsible for this terror in front the worlds public opinion. The Bahraini government is accusing activists with terrorism, but in reality, it is only covering its own terroristic behaviors and representations by pretending to fight terrorism. This is an appeal to all human rights organizations and honorable peoples all around the world to advocate for human rights activists in Bahrain and deliver their suffering to different government and civil units.
