Ibrahim Sherif has been arrested for the second time by Bahraini authorities after expressing his opinion regarding the acquisition of McLaren company. What are the details?
In a sudden move, Bahraini authorities have detained the former Secretary-General of the National Democratic Action Society, Ibrahim Sherif, for seven days for questioning. Sherif received a call yesterday from the Electronic Crimes Directorate to attend interrogation, and he was transferred to the Public Prosecution to begin the investigation. After only four hours, a decision was made to detain him for seven days in Dry Dock Detention Center.
The charges against Ibrahim Sherif relate to his recent tweets in which he criticized the government’s irresponsible spending on McLaren Automotive, while citizens suffer from a lack of budget allocated for housing and infrastructure projects. Sherif also pointed out a house fire in Sitra that resulted in the death of 17 people, highlighting negligence in meeting the needs of citizens.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time Ibrahim Sherif has been arrested, as he was detained last December due to his opposition to normalization with Israel and his positions on social media.
Reactions to the arrest of Ibrahim Sharif
Amid escalating political tensions in the region, a new move by Bahraini authorities has sparked a wave of criticism and debate about freedom of expression and human rights. According to reports, the Bahraini Public Prosecution has made a decision to detain prominent political activist Mr. Ibrahim Sherif.
The Islamic National Accord Association strongly condemned Sherif’s arrest, considering it a violation of human rights and freedom of expression. Three other political associations also denounced the arrest, demanding his immediate release.
While international and local human rights organizations denounce Ibrahim Sherif’s arrest, it seems that this move has increased political tensions in Bahrain and triggered a wave of widespread criticism against Bahraini authorities.
This move has raised questions and criticisms about the Bahraini government’s respect for human rights and freedom of expression. Activists point out that this action is part of a series of human rights violations in the country.
The “Promise” association, to which Mr. Ibrahim Sherif belongs, commented on this decision, expressing its deep concern about the Bahraini government’s targeting of political opposition and its attempts to suppress public opinion.
On its part, the Bahraini government has not issued an official comment on this decision, further increasing concerns and tensions in the country.
This event comes in the context of escalating political tensions in Bahrain, where the country has been witnessing continuous protests and demonstrations for several years, making political and social challenges remain at the top of the Bahraini government’s priorities at the moment.
