Bahrain: Police honour rights
BAHRAIN'S police stick strictly to the human rights code, Interior Minister Shaikh Rashid bin Abdulla Al Khalifa told parliament yesterday.
The ministry guarantees that there are no violations of human rights by police, under any circumstances, he said.
There is tight monitoring throughout all the ministry's sections, said Shaikh Rashid.
"It is being overseen by the grievances, human rights and legal affairs directorates, which are also being supervised by top ministry officials to ensure that rights are fully protected," he said.
"We have also started a human rights committee, chaired by me and it looks into requests to make enhancements to human rights at our facilities or in our conduct.
"This committee has achieved a lot so far.
"Policemen are being enrolled in training workshops and programmes on human rights, to ensure they learn the etiquette and manner of dealing with people."
Shaikh Rashid was responding verbally to a question by Al Wefaq MP Sayed Maki Al Wedaie on the ministry's commitment to human rights protection.
Shaikh Rashid said anyone arrested were given their full rights and assured of good health and nutritional care.
Police who misbehave are dealt with and 48 had been convicted and court marshalled, in relation to 23 cases of misconduct, between 2002 and last year, he said.
"The human rights committee has currently investigated 16 complaints and four others are soon to be completed, as we plan to take action against those involved," said Shaikh Rashid.
Many of the allegations published in the media are exaggerated, but are always investigated, he said.
"When a gathering is legal, we help ease its movements - when it is not, we deal with it according to the law," said Shaikh Rashid. "But, when people's lives and property are at stake, we have to intervene." Shaikh Rashid said the ministry's work was based on the foundation of respect for dignity.
