Abdulghani Khanjar, the spokesperson for the Movement for Freedom and Democracy (Haq), stated: “The Bahraini government has been using political prisoners as hostages for over a decade.”
Khanjar’s statements shed light on the regime’s nefarious strategy of using political prisoners as hostages in the political arena.
Bahrain’s methods of repression date back over a decade, with the regime relying on calculated tactics aimed at subduing the opposition and intimidating political activists.
Abdulghani Khanjar: Prisons are centers for torturing freedom
In this context, Abdulghani Khanjar emphasized that prisons in Bahrain have ceased to be mere places of individual confinement; rather, they have transformed into centers for torturing freedoms and exploiting them. Innocents are imprisoned under false pretenses to instill fear and terror in the hearts of opponents and their supporters.
In the journey of oppression and deception, the Bahraini authority has employed various tools, including the establishment of official bodies that purportedly uphold integrity and legality, such as the Complaints and Alternative Penalties Authority, and the opening of open prisons, with the aim of justifying its repressive policies and meeting international human rights standards, as affirmed by Abdulghani Khanjar in his statements.
However, the resilience of political prisoners in the face of these ongoing challenges remains a symbol of steadfastness and determination to achieve freedom in opposition to oppression and injustice.
Despite the regime’s attempts to subdue their will and tarnish their image, their voices continue to rise, rejecting all forms of oppression and tyranny, and demanding freedom and justice.
Ultimately, the fate of freedoms and democracy in Bahrain remains contingent upon fundamental changes in governance policies and practices, requiring a genuine will for dialogue, tolerance, and respect for human rights, which the Bahraini regime seems willing to forsake in order to maintain its power and consolidate its influence.
