10- Among the selected random sample were inmates convicted in other cases, some of whom are citizens of neighboring Arab countries and others who were foreigners, where they stated that they are unaware of the real causes of the riots, stating the probability that the reasons are due to those convicted in security cases provoking policemen for purposes of creating chaos, and the incitement by the old inmates of the new inmates or those of young age to not conform with the orders of the administration, in addition to deliberately stirring differences between the policemen and the inmates, which brought about the intervention of the policemen and the imposition of retribution. 11- The delegation of the NIHR submitted urgent verbal requests to those in charge of the Center after conducting the visit, represented in the necessity of referring some of the inmates urgently to the physician in order to perform the necessary examination and receive the medical treatment and care, and to provide all the requirements of public and personal hygiene, and to enable the inmates without exception to wash and to change their clothes, and to complete as expeditiously as possible the maintenance works on the damaged buildings and to convey the inmates to them along with their possessions and furniture, and in case the work is not accomplished it is necessary to prepare the tents so as to be fit for habitation and in a manner that does not violate human dignity, and finally to enable all the inmates to communicate with the outside world, whether their relatives or lawyers or representatives of states insofar as non-Bahrainis. ‫اﻟﺘﻘﺮﻳﺮ اﻟﺴﻨﻮي اﻟﺜﺎﻟﺚ‬ ‫ﻟﻠﻤﺆﺳﺴﺔ اﻟﻮﻃﻨﻴﺔ ﻟﺤﻘﻮق اﻧﺴﻨﺎم‬ ‫ ـ ﻣﻤﻠﻜﺔ اﻟﺒﺤﺮﻳﻦ‬2015 ‫ﻟﻌﺎم‬ 12- The NIHR emphasizes that the person whose freedom is restricted- at the quarter entrusted with enforcing the law insofar as implementation of decisions negating freedom- is in a special condition of weakness, in view of the fact that that quarter has special powers such as the legal use of power and force, and accordingly the fate of the one whose freedom is fettered in the hands of those entrusted with enforcing the law, and this asymmetry in power leads to a situation which may lead to the occurrence of mistreatment and the violation of rights. 13- It is the view of the NIHR that it is necessary to lay down strict rules for crisis management in cases of disturbances so as to deal with situations of chaos and unruliness at the Reform and Rehabilitation Centers, and to restore a condition of stability or impose penalties or restrictions on the inmates required by the maintenance of order and security,, where it is necessary that such does not impinge on their basic rights or expose them to any form of torture or mistreatment to which alluded Article Number (7) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.,” and Article Number (10)- Paragraph (1) thereof which stipulates that “All persons deprived of their liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human person.,” and this is precisely what was alluded to by the Constitution of the Kingdom of Bahrain in Paragraph (d) of Article Number (19) which states: “No person shall be subjected to physical or mental torture, enticement or degrading treatment,...” 14- The NIHR emphasizes that the imposition of order necessitates using legal means, while taking into consideration not to arbitrarily accomplish this, and for such to be in accordance with the accepted legal frameworks, stipulated in Law Number (18) for 2014 in the Law of the Reform and Rehabilitation Institution, and particularly compliance with the principle of proportionately, and to avoid the pitfall of violating the rights of the inmates, where the imposition of a penalty due to a violation should not lead to excessive punitive action. 78
