Western-Puppet Bahraini regime canceled visit on torture investigation

The U.N. torture investigator said Bahrain had effectively cancelled a trip he had planned to the Persian Gulf Arab state, where thousands of Bahraini people are protesting against the Ale-Khalifah dynasty for over two years.

According to Reuters, Juan Mendez, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Torture, said in a statement it was the second time a scheduled visit had been postponed at short notice. His trip had been set for May 8-15.
He said on Wednesday “It is effectively a cancellation as no alternative dates were proposed, nor is there a future road map to discuss,” adding “Let me be clear, this was a unilateral decision by the authorities.”
Bahrain’s state news agency said on Monday the authorities had asked Mendez to delay his trip, without giving a reason. Mendez then put it off until further notice.
Under criticism from human rights groups, the government invited a commission led by Cherif Bassiouni, a respected U.N. human rights lawyer to examine its handling of the trouble. Its report in November 2011 said the authorities had used widespread and excessive force, including torture to extract confessions.
