<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DR4G is pleased to announce a new program by which it works with victims to counter Bahrain\u2019s use of\u00a0INTERPOL\u00a0red notices. The Government of Bahrain has for the last several years abused the\u00a0INTERPOL\u00a0red notice system in order to harass human rights defenders and political activists living abroad as well as obtain the extradition of politically exiled persons in order to punish them with prison sentences and other forms of abuse in Bahrain. DR4G understands that the government has thus far accomplished at least three of these extraditions and attempted one further, and that upon arriving in Bahrain at least one victim was disappeared and tortured by the government for a period of several weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our partners over at ADHRB has been working on this issue for some time, and was recently made aware that\u00a0INTERPOL\u00a0maintains a process by which a person that has a presence in\u00a0INTERPOL\u2019s files can be made aware of the contents of those files and subsequently challenge any erroneous information contained therein. Beginning the process is relatively straightforward, requiring only a letter from the person requesting access to their\u00a0INTERPOL\u00a0file. INTERPOL is required in its statutes to provide such information to any person making such a request as expeditiously as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a victim targeted with an\u00a0INTERPOL\u00a0red notice by the Bahraini government, we want to help. Below you will find a letter that ADHRB has put together for victims of Bahraini red notices, as well as an accompanying form that\u00a0INTERPOL\u00a0requires be filled out. If you\u2019re interested in working with us, please complete both of these documents and mail them, as well as a copy of your identity document, directly to\u00a0INTERPOL, at the address provided in the letter. We have provided for you an Arabic translation of the form; please fill out the Arabic and English forms, as well as the Arabic and English letters, and send them to\u00a0INTERPOL.\u00a0INTERPOL\u00a0will then send the information stored in your file to ADHRB, after which we will analyze the file and work with you to remove any information falsely provided by the Government of Bahrain. You may contact us at\u00a0INTERPOLComplaints@adhrb.org<\/a> or info@digitalrights4gulf.com. We\u2019ll be happy to answer any questions you might have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
