IHRC has been highlighting human rights, racist and sectarian abuses taking place in Bahrain since 2006. Our campaign has sought to highlight the abuses of the state against opposition figures who are seeking greater democratization in Bahrain.

Our research and campaign has highlighted, amongst other things, the use of violence and torture against Bahraini pro-Democracy campaigners, the use of citizenship stripping against opposition figures and the use of mercenary forces to quell any popular grassroots  movement critical of the government. We have published reports and breifings detailing this and many other human rights abuses by the Bahraini state.

Our campaign has included mobilising campaigners from around the world to speak out against the atrocities being committed by the state. Through our work we hope to hold the Bahraini government accountable for violating the rights of its citizens.

• IHRC has raised the issue of the use of torture against Bahraini activists with the UN special rapporteur.
• IHRC has been calling for the release of all political prisoners, includer Dr Abduljalil al-Singace.
• IHRC continues to oppose the continued use of citizenship deprivation by the Bahraini state as a way of punishing opposition figures.
• IHRC continues to campaign for greater democratization and empowerment in Bahrain.
