Dear Rt. Hon William Hague MP

 Genocide in Bahrain

 

We are writing to express our strong condemnation of the current massacre being perpetrated against the Bahraini people by Bahraini and Saudi armed forces. 
As your constituents, We urge you to introduce and/orsupport legislation in the House of Commons that:

 Unequivocally and publicly condemn the barbaric actions of the Bahraini Government,call for the immediate suspension of western aid to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain until Saudi Arabia and UAE withdraw their troops from Bahrain, and until the Bahraini government withdraws all local and foreign troops, respects its people's rights to peacefully assemble and protest, and allows for free and fair elections in the country.
 Call for the immediate suspension and revaluation of all arms trade of western countries with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.
 On Wednesday March 16 2011, the Salmaniyah Hospital was seized by Bahraini security forces who raided the complex in search of wounded protesters, beating and threatening doctors and hospital staff, and finally encircled the hospital with tanks and military personnel and have denied access to and exit from the hospital.
 Even now, the hospital is still surrounded by troops and a number of doctors as well as patients have been taken to undisclosed locations and their whereabouts remain unknown.

The recent military seizure of the Salmaniyah Hospital in Manama is in clear violation of Protocol II, Articles 9, 10, 11, and 13 of the Geneva Convention. 

This is not a sectarian conflict but one involving different sectors of Bahraini soceity peacefully demanding their democratic rights.

 Furthermore, We are confident that you will make it clear that repression and state-sanctioned murder in Bahrain will not go unnoticed and urge you to call for an urgent withdrawal of Saudi Arabia and UAE troops from Bahrain.

Your prompt action and response with regards to this urgent issue will be highly appreciated.

Yours Sincerely
