From Angry Arab chief correspondent on Bahrain: "This heading by human rights watch is misleading
The statement is by Nigel Rodley (who along with phillip kirsh more
sympathetic to the opposition) and not all the commissioners. If this is their
understanding, why didn't they say this clearly in the report and saved us all
the trouble? Why didn't they directly recommend the release of all prisoners?
The fact that this is his understanding doesn't matter now since its not in the
report. Now compare Rodley's statements to that of King worshipping Bassiouni (don't bother to read the entire article - just scroll to the bottom). Also the
commissioner Badriya AlAwadhi (who wrote an article defending the saudi
invasion) was interviewed on TV last week. I did not bother to watch the
interview and I have no idea what channel interviewed her but she apparently
placed all the blame on the protestors (also ignoring whats in the report)."
