Bahrain reform report criticizes police actions in uprising
A 500 page Bahraini inquiry led by Mahmoud Cherif Bassiouni finds excessive force and torture during the Arab Spring crackdown. It rejects Iranian links to Shiite protests and urges accountability, while Bahrain promises no immunity and vows dialogue with the opposition. The report covers Feb 14 to March 30 and notes sectarian discrimination against Shia Muslims comprising about 70 percent of Bahrain’s 525,000 citizens. Washington lauds the commission while urging reforms.
