Ahmed's Case Update

Ahmed continues to rot at the Adliya Criminal Investigation Department prison. It has been almost a YEAR since Ahmed has been kidnapped from outside his Muharraq home.

Ahmed is still being denied justice. He appeared in court again today and the judge, Abdulrahman Al Sayed, again threw the case out and asked them to reappear on May 7 because the CID witnesses lawyer Fatima Al Hawaj wants for one of her clients involved in the case did not turn up AGAIN.

This means that Ahmed will continue to be treated as guilty until proven innocent in a kingdom which prides itself of being a democracy.

Why is Ahmed being denied justice? What criteria did Judge Al Sayed use when he released people accused of smuggling 350kg of Hashish into Bahrain on bail? Why is he holding Ahmed indefinitely without access to a fair and just trial when he wasn't caught with anything on him and when the real culprit is already behind bars? What does a corrupt judicial system want to prove?

WHO IS TRYING TO SABOTAGE BAHRAIN'S REFORMS PROCESS and WHY?
