Bahraini human rights activist, Said Yousif, released

August 16, 2012

I have just learned from Front Line that the Bahraini human rights activist, Said Yousif, was released soon after his arrest. This is good news of course but does not change the fact that so many others linger in jail. A good and detailed piece can be found at:

Late last night, Wednesday 15 August, Russia Today reported that another Bahraini HRD was arrested: Said Yousif (pictured on the right with Nabeel Rajab). Both work for the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, one of the three nominees for the 2012 Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders. The ongoing crackdown on human rights activists completely contradicts the promised made by the Government after a government-sponsored report revealed gross violations of human rights.
