Front Line Defenders said in a statement that Bahrain is not a credible candidate for the Presidency of the UN Human Rights Council. This statement came after the government of Bahrain has nominated Ambassador Yusuf Abdulkarim Bucheeri as its candidate for the 2021 Presidency of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC).

Since 2011, everyone in Bahrain, whether young or old, knew who Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni was. At one time, he was deemed a mark of condemnation against the regime, and at other times, a sign of the controversy surrounding the truth of what was still taking place in the country.

The demise of international law professor Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni reminded Bahrainis of his 2011 report on Bahrain, which social actors believe could have been a road map leading Bahrain out of the crisis, but things went down differently.

Bahraini Government claims that it implemented the 26 recommendations, but a number of states and organizations as well as the President of the Commission himself say otherwise.

Professor of law and international investigator Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni, who headed the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) that investigated the violations of the Government of Bahrain in 2011, died today on Monday (September 25, 2017) at the age of 79.

Why the need to make such efforts to desperately “expose” Qatar, when the BICI report had already addressed in 2011 the fact that Qatar attempted to play the role of the mediator in the political crisis in Bahrain.

Member of the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI), British Professor, Sir Nigel Simon Rodley, passed away Wednesday (January 25, 2017).

HRF urged US State Department to submit congressionally-mandated report assessing Bahraini government's implementation of BICI recommendations.

US State Department said will provide report on implementation of BICI recommendations to Congress soon following four-month delay.

The Gulf Institute for Democracy and Human rights (GIDHR) stressed that the Bahraini regime continues to practice the violations documented in the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry report.

Information revealed that Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni, head of the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) will be received by the Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa on Monday (May 9, 2016).

Bahrain Mirror: The Al-Wasat newspaper said that “3 mosques among those that were mentioned in the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) report will not be rebuilt.”
