Salam for Democracy and Human Rights launched on Tuesday (February 9, 2021) a report entitled "Decade of Oppression: Authoritarianism in Bahrain 2011-2021".

Front Line Defenders said in a statement that Bahrain is not a credible candidate for the Presidency of the UN Human Rights Council. This statement came after the government of Bahrain has nominated Ambassador Yusuf Abdulkarim Bucheeri as its candidate for the 2021 Presidency of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC).

After unjustly spending two years in prison, a Bahraini court acquitted a political prisoner of charges of attacking, along with other unknown suspects, a security armored vehicle using Molotov cocktails in Al-Shakhoura in 2016, and abolished a 7-year prison sentence issued against him. The prisoner's name was mentioned in the confessions of another prisoner.

Since 2011, everyone in Bahrain, whether young or old, knew who Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni was. At one time, he was deemed a mark of condemnation against the regime, and at other times, a sign of the controversy surrounding the truth of what was still taking place in the country.

Bahraini Government claims that it implemented the 26 recommendations, but a number of states and organizations as well as the President of the Commission himself say otherwise.

Professor of law and international investigator Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni, who headed the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) that investigated the violations of the Government of Bahrain in 2011, died today on Monday (September 25, 2017) at the age of 79.

Why the need to make such efforts to desperately “expose” Qatar, when the BICI report had already addressed in 2011 the fact that Qatar attempted to play the role of the mediator in the political crisis in Bahrain.

Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain (ADHRB) said that “the US Congress recently reached on deal on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 appropriations act. Included is the Senate committee report, which mandates that the US Department of State will have to submit an updated assessment report on the Bahraini government’s implementation of the recommendations in the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI). The 2017 report is due within 45 days of passing.”

Bahrain Center for Human Rights member Safaa Al-Khawaja said that the authorities in Bahrain are still using measures that hinder the real equality for the victims of violations, which is contradictory to the principles of the transitional justice in the international bill.

The year 2016 witnessed an interesting development on the level of implementing the recommendations of Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI), led by Professor Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni in 2011.

US spokesperson said Kerry in latest conversation with Bahraini counterpart spoke of Washington’s concerns about Manama’s recent actions.

HRF urged US State Department to submit congressionally-mandated report assessing Bahraini government's implementation of BICI recommendations.

US State Department said will provide report on implementation of BICI recommendations to Congress soon following four-month delay.

BICI head Cherif Bassiouni said Bahrain's claim that it completed the implementation of BICI recommendations is not true.

The British Ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain Simon Martin welcomed on the assessment of Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni regarding the implementation of the BICI recommendations.

The Gulf Institute for Democracy and Human rights (GIDHR) stressed that the Bahraini regime continues to practice the violations documented in the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry report.

Director of the United States Press Office said the US Congress requested a report on the Administration’s assessment of Bahrain’s implementation of the BICI recommendations.

The Middle East Eye Website reported on Tuesday (May 10, 2016) that Cherif Bassiouni, who chairs the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI), said that the comments attributed to him by the Bahrain News Agency (BNA) are "not accurate".

The national opposition democratic forces stressed that most of the recommendations of the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI), issued on November 23, 2011, were not implemented.

Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni, who chairs the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI), said that Bahrain implemented the commission’s recommendations, claiming that these actions led Bahrain to “overcoming the 2011 events”.
