Comments on the Law No. (58) Of 2006 With Respect to Protecting the Society from Terrorist Acts and the Bahraini Citizenship Act of 1963 as amended in 2014 and 2019 respectively. We respectfully address several serious human rights challenges in relation to the definition of terrorism contained in the legislation which, in our view, is overly broad; the negative and disproportionate impact of the legislation may have on particular groups, on due process, on the right to liberty and security of person, as well as on the exercise of freedom of opinion and expression, and freedom of peaceful assembly and association. We respectfully encourage your Excellency's Government to review and reconsider certain key aspects of the law to ensure that it complies with Bahrain's international human rights obligations. We would also like to reiterate the observations made in AL BHR 2/2019 on the Law No. (58) Of 2006 With Respect to Protecting the Society from Terrorist Acts.

Information received concerning the alleged lack of an effective and prompt investigation into the killing of Mr. Uakhele Giban, an indigenous Papuan, on 5 July 2022 in Suru Suru district, Yahukimo regency, allegedly by agents of the Indonesian security forces of the Damai Cartenz Unit, the alleged killings of Arlod Lokbere, Irian Nigiri, Lemaniol Nigiri, and Atis Tini, indegenous Papuans, in Mimika Regency, Nduga, in the Indonesian province of Papua on 22 August 2022, reportedly by members of the Indonesian Army from Brigif 20 and the alleged excessive use of force against an indigenous Papuan minor, on 15 April 2022.
