In the past few months, Bahraini men have been raped, given electric shocks and brutally tortured by government officials without being guilty for anything reports, Herald Sun.
The claims and stories poured in after when the Bahraini government said it would lift the state of emergency in March, after anti-government protesters took over Pearl Roundabout, in the capital city of Manama and confronted the police.
Shiite Muslim men have been secretly interviewed with their identities not being disclosed. They have recorded testimonials against their government as evidence ‘to show the true face of Bahrain’.
Six Shiite men said they were abducted from the streets by police officials loyal to the Sunni regime of the country, and were taken to jails where they were barbarically tortured and wounded.
“They tried to hurt us in places that people couldn’t see, in ways that wouldn’t leave evidence. But you can always see,” according to 20 year-old Mahmoud, who claims he was not involved in any of the protests or political activity.
He continued telling the terrible part of his story when his jailers shamed him by forcing him to strip naked, taunted and teased him for hours before raping him.
The young man will live with this for the rest of his life. ”I can never forget what they did to me,” says Mahmoud.
The government of Bahrain is on to abusing, torturing and silencing people.
