Rights body to take Bahrain, UK to ICC

A Lebanon-based rights body plans to file a case with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Bahraini and UK governments for their collusion in the brutal crackdown on Bahraini protesters.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Lebanese broadcaster Al-Manar reported on Thursday that Chief Representative of Beirut-based International Coalition against Impunity, May el-Khansa, and 10 European lawyers would file the lawsuit on June 17.

“We have put a case before the ICC before this time. But now we are preparing a more important case with more evidence to put it again before the court.” El-Khansa said.

As evidence, the group is expected to present to the court graphical images as well as video footage, which the activist says will show “the crimes of Bahraini government.”
