Drazi Criticises Restriction on Freedom of Expression
Abduallh Drazi, Secretary General of the Bahrain Human Rights
Society, said that: “any setbacks in public freedoms and freedom
of expression will cause further setbacks in other areas. The last
months of 2010 witnessed an increase in the restriction on public
freedoms, political societies and the media. For example, some newsletters
and websites belonging to political societies such as, the National
Islamic Wefaq, Waad, Amal and the Democratic Progressive Forum were
closed down.” Drazi believes that restrictions on the media are
going to affect both Bahrain’s position and reputation in any international
report concerning freedom of expression and public freedoms.
