BHR 6/2014 17/04/2014 Bahrain UA Freedom of religion; Reply Alleged religiously-motivated discrimination against the most senior religious leader of the Shi’a Muslim community. According to the information received, on 12 April 2014, Bahraini security officers raided Mr. Hussain Mirza Abdelbaqi Najati’s office and home. On 15 April 2014, Mr. Najati complied with the order to report to the Head of the National Security agency, who interrogated and ordered him to leave the Kingdom of Bahrain for Iraq within 48 hours. He also requested Mr. Najati to hand over his Bahraini passport, as his citizenship had been revoked. Reportedly, Mr. Najati was warned that failure to comply would result in his possible arrest together with his young son. Concern is raised that targeting the most senior and influential Shi’a religious figure in the Kingdom of Bahrain may amount to intimidation and thus discrimination against the entire Shi’a Muslim community in the country. Mr. Najati is one of 31 individuals, whose Bahraini citizenship was revoked on 7 November 2012 by the decision of the Ministry of Interior, and who were the subject of a communication sent on 29 November 2012, see A/HRC/22/67/Corr.2, case no. BHR 12/2012. A/HRC/27/72 43
