On Friday 10th August 2018, Inminds human rights group will hold a vigil outside the Bahraini Embassy in London, in solidarity with Ali Mushaima's hunger strike to save his fathers life. Inminds will demand the unconditional release of Hassan Mushaima and all the other 5000 Bahraini prisoners of conscience languishing in the Al-Khalifa regimes dungeons. The vigil will also demand the British government end its complicity in the Al Khalifa dictatorship's crimes against the Bahraini people.

Inminds chair Abbas Ali said "The British government is directly responsible for the repression of the Bahraini people, the British government trained the thugs that abducted, tortured and imprisoned Ali Mushaima's father. Today Ali Mushaima is on hunger strike, endangering his life to fight for the life of his father. As citizens of this country it is our responsibility to speak up and demand the British government stop its support for the butcher of Bahrain, and act now to pressure the Bahraini regime to unconditionally and immediately release Hassan Mushaima and the 5000 other political prisoners caged in its dungeons!"

BACKGROUND

Ali Mushaima launched a hunger strike on1st August 2018 to save his father Hassan Mushaima's life. Ali is demanding his father be given urgently needed medical care, family visits (stopped 18 months ago), and access to books.

Hassan Mushaima is a leader of the 2011 mass movement that peacefully called for human rights and democratic reforms in Bahrain. The Khalifa dictatorship using British weapons and training, along with Saudi invading forces, brutally crushed the demonstrations, killing dozens and caging thousands. In March 2017 Hassan Mushaima along with other human rights defenders and opposition leaders were abducted, brutally tortured and given life sentences in mock trials simply for calling for democracy in Bahrain. Hassan Mushaima was horrifically tortured in Bahrain's notorious Jau prison that left him in need of surgery four times.

The UK government, ignoring the Bahraini regimes systematic abuses of human rights, has provided the dictatorship £51 million worth of arms in the last 4 years. After repeated denials by the UK government it was finally revealed that having gained experience of repressing protests in Northern Ireland, the British government has used that experience to train the Bahraini security forces in the tactics of ruthlessly crushing protests, use of attack dogs, cannons, and how to gather intelligence on protestors. To hide the training the UK government has cynically described it as 'protection of human rights training'. It has also been revealed that the UK trained the interrogators and prison guards at Jau prison, and other facilities where torture is rampant. Its the same Bahraini thugs who, having graduated from the British training course, are guilt of widespread human right abuses including murdering peaceful protestors, and torturing women and children. Soon after the training, teenager Ali al-Singace was abducted by the Bahraini police and severally tortured with electric shocks and forced to make a false confession for which he was executed by firing squad in January 2017.

"1763 in the Ohio river valley you got Lord Jeffrey Amherst committing to written order an instruction to his subordinate Henry Bouquet, having been defeated by Pontiac Ottawa confederacy in the field. The order essentially says that they have been defeated militarily and is therefore necessary for Amherst forces to request a peace, to sue for peace from Pontiacs people. He instructs Bouquet to convene a parlay with the Indian leadership for that purpose. And as is the custom, as is common courtesy among native populations as was known to the Brits at that time, it would be necessary for those who requested the council to give gifts to those requested to attend. Make those gifts, Amherst says, items taken from a smallpox infirmary in order, I'm going to quote directly now, this isn't a paraphrase: 'in order that we may extirpate this execrable race'. Now key is on this last word, had he said that we might eradicate the opposing combatants, their military capacity, their warriors.. what ever term he wanted to use, it would have been biological warefare. But he didn't say anything about that, he said the 'race'. His intent was to use biological means, to use disease, quite explicitly so, to eradicate an entire population group. And Bouquet was also kind enough to commit to writing in his response the next day, I have done as instructed, dispersing three blankets, two handkerchiefs and sundry other items, hopefully, he says, they will have the desired result. They did.. the lowest estimate of the number of people who died of smallpox as a result of that little gesture of friendship and goodwill is a 100,000!"
