"Madam President, the Bahraini people are calling for democratic reforms and a respect for fundamental human rights. The demands for improved living conditions and a respect for rights are not extravagant, and they do not in any way pose a threat to the Bahraini Government.
Instead of listening to the justified demands of the people, however, government security forces have continued to use heavy-handed tactics against demonstrators. There is no justification whatsoever for using use tear gas and stun grenades against unarmed demonstrators. Bahrain must end this brutal treatment of demonstrators. No one involved in peaceful demonstrations should be imprisoned for expressing their opinion.
The Bahraini administration should instead show more support for civil activism and civil society. If it wishes to avoid demonstrations, Bahrain needs greater democracy, more dialogue with civil society and robust measures to create jobs, especially for the young."@en1
