According to reports on Friday, campaigners offered new documents to Scotland Yard regarding the role of Prince Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the son of Bahrain’s monarch, in torturing prisoners.
The new call came a day after the Bahraini prince released a video of himself in Hyde Park in the British capital city of London.
Last year, a Bahraini refugee filed a lawsuit against Nasser in Britain’s High Court over torture cases after he found about the prince’s presence in the European country.
Though the court revoked the prince’s diplomatic immunity following the lawsuit, Scotland Yard refrained from detaining Nasser, citing a lack of sufficient evidence. The British government also announced that the prince is “welcome” in the country.
Campaigners said the new evidence is strong enough to convince the British police to probe Nasser’s notorious involvement in torturing and persecuting Bahraini opposition figures. Full story...
