There are no 'political prisoners' as such in Bahrain. People are not arrested because they express their views, we only have criminals.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Not all political prisoners are innocents.
I care about Bahrain. Bahrain is very dear to me. I will not allow people to play around with our laws.
A political prisoner is someone who is out fighting for his or her people's rights and freedom and is imprisoned for that alone.
The Bahraini people are eager to obtain facts to enable them to shape a comprehensive national opinion without division among its people. We confirm to all journalists and media personnel in the kingdom of Bahrain that their freedom is preserved and their rights are safeguarded.
What's happened at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq is one of the grossest violations of human rights under the Geneva Conventions that we have record of. It is simply monstrous.
There is no ethnic cleansing in Bahrain, no mass genocide, no policy of killing innocent people.
I have to say when we talk about the treatment of these prisoners that I would guess that these prisoners wake up every morning thanking Allah that Saddam Hussein is not in charge of these prisons.
Everybody seems to be imprisoned in their own sectarian or political affiliations. They don't seem to be able to rise above these things.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.
Pakistani prisoners are safe in Indian jails. We are a responsible government.
