Bahrain jails dissident for protesting role in US anti-Yemen coalition

Bahraini authorities have ordered the seven-day detention of a leading opposition figure after he denounced the Al Khalifah regimes participation in the US-led coalition against Yemen in the Red Sea.

Bahrains office of public prosecution ordered Ebrahim Sharifs detention pending investigation for "spreading false news during wartime," his family and lawyer said on Thursday.

Sharif, who heads the Waad organization, in a series of posts criticized authorities in Manama for joining the coalition "without any consideration of the position of the Bahraini people who strongly support our besieged Palestinian people in Gaza."

He was arrested on Wednesday. When asked about his case, the Bahraini government said "an individual" was being held for "allegedly supporting a proscribed terrorist organization."

The charge against Sharif, a pro-democracy campaigner, can hold a prison sentence of up to 10 years.

Bahrain is the only state in the Persian Gulf region that has joined the US-led coalition established this week in response to Yemeni attacks on ships bound to the occupied Palestinian territories in the Red Sea.

Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei, advocacy director at the UK-based Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD), said the Bahraini regime "wants to make an example of Sharif who is not alone in his criticism of Bahrains decision to the join the Americans."

"Failure of the US administration to publicly denounce his arrest and push for his immediate release gives the green light to the Bahrain government to continue his detention," Alwadaei said.

The Pentagon has announced a military coalition of 10 countries, including Britain and Spain, to counter the Yemeni forces that targeted ships bound for Israel in solidarity with the people of Gaza.

A series of strikes attributed to the Yemeni forces have been conducted in solidarity with the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip. Yemen has already warned it will prevent the passage of all ships in the Red Sea bound to the occupied territories.

The leader of Yemens Ansarullah movement said in a televised speech broadcast live Wednesday that the armed forces will not hesitate to target US military warships in the Red Sea if Washington and its allies carry out military strikes against Yemen.

Bahrains main opposition group al-Wefaq National Islamic Society recently denounced human rights violations in the country.

Al-Wefaq has denounced Manamas normalization of relations with Israel as "a crime."

The opposition party has underlined that the normalization is in flagrant contradiction to Bahrains history and Islamic identity.

Bahrain and the Israeli regime established diplomatic relations in 2020 as part of the United States-brokered Abraham Accords.

Last month, the deputy speaker of Bahrains National Assembly said members of the legislative body were pressing to reverse the normalization following the regimes devastating war in Gaza.

Abdulnabi Salman said Bahraini lawmakers were demanding an end to diplomatic relations with Israel.

The Persian Gulf country has witnessed numerous protests ever since the rapprochement.

The United States and Britain refrain from the criticism of human rights violations across Bahrain.

In July, British legislators were pressing the government to provide clear explanations why Bahrain has been removed from its list of human rights priority countries, accusing the government of putting its principles "up for auction" after sealing a billion-pound investment deal with the Persian Gulf state.
