This project will help victims of torture in Bahrain get access to medicine and care for their conditions and injuries, and obtain legal help to fight their unjust imprisonment and inhumane treatment.
In Bahrain, the criminal justice system relies on torture to do its job. Rather than collecting evidence and building a case, police officers often find it faster and easier to just beat a confession out of a person. Sometimes they go ever father, using electrocution and even sexual violence to get their victims to confess. Children as young as twelve have been brutalized by this horrific practices, leaving behind victims without either legal recourse of treatment back to well-being.
Since 2013, ADHRB had maintained a program to help victims of state violence in Bahrain obtain access to justice and medicine for injuries caused by torture. We represent victims before governments around the world and before United Nations tribunals, where we obtain judgments on their behalf and government intervention to stop their abuse. We also provide them with treatment to put them on the road to recovery.
We will help hundreds of victims of torture in Bahrain fight against their abusers and obtain the treatment necessary to recover from their abuse.
