UK Base in Bahrain 'Reward For Ignoring Human Rights Abuses'

Nabeel Rajab, an opposition politician and president of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, said: “This base is a reward to the British government for the silence they provided on human rights abuses in Bahrain, and for their continued support of this tyrannical and corrupt regime. The money to be paid by Bahrain to build this base, in fact, is for buying the silence of the British Government and support for the regime and against our struggle for justice, democracy and human rights."
