I’ve been in hiding for the past two years. The Bahraini government imprisoned me from August 2010 to February 2011, and it was obvious I would be rearrested; so I went underground. It’s not easy – I’m married with a 10-year-old son, and the risk of capture is always there – but I carry on, participating in the struggle for human rights and democracy in my country from my hiding place.In February 2011, the same month I was released from prison, thousands of Bahrainis rose up to demand their rights. The monarchy responded with violence and repression, firing at peaceful protesters, arresting and jailing countless activists.
I am associated with a committee against torture, an issue I know well as I myself was tortured in prison. The government has used torture routinely. Many people have died in custody.
