Date Type Case No Country Mandate(s) Summary of the allegation transmitted Reply BHR 13/2014 14/10/2014 Bahrain JUA Arbitrary detention; Freedom of expression; Freedom of peaceful assembly and of association; Human rights defenders; 24/11/2014 Alleged arbitrary arrest and detention of a human rights defender. According to the information received, on 25 May 2014, Mr. Nabeel Rajab, the President of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights (BCHR), was released after having served a twoyear prison sentence on charges of calling for, and participating in, peaceful demonstrations. On 30 September 2014, Mr. Rajab returned to Bahrain after having spent several weeks in Europe where he met with international and regional human rights mechanisms, including the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, to advocate for the recognition of human rights in Bahrain. On 1 October 2014, Mr. Rajab was summoned by the General Directorate of Anti-corruption and Economic and Electronic Security of the Criminal Investigation Department in relation to statements made on his Twitter account that “denigrated government institutions”. He was subsequently arrested and is currently detained at Hoora Police station in Manama. Grave concerns are expressed at the arrest and detention of Mr. Rajab which might be linked to his peaceful and legitimate activities advocating for human rights in Bahrain, and be an act of reprisal for his cooperation with the United Nations and its human rights mechanisms.
