Speech English BH 2023-11-18 Tier 2 Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa (Crown Prince & PM of Bahrain) — remarks at the Manama Dialogue, Nov 2023 (Newsweek): condemning both Hamas's 7 October attack ("barbaric") and Israel's Gaza air campaign, insisting "no real security will ever be realized until a real two-state solution is found," and that "the United States is indispensable" to peace.
The attacks on October 7 were barbaric. I unequivocally condemn the air campaign that resulted in the death of over 11,000 people in Gaza, 4,700 of which are children.

English BH 2016-09-04 Tier 2 Nabeel Rajab (Bahraini human-rights defender; president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights) — from his op-ed "Letter From a Bahraini Jail," The New York Times, 4 Sep 2016 (confirmed via Salon/TIME; NYT original paywalled): Bahrain jails those "daring to desire democracy," "no one has been properly held to account" for systematic abuses, and a challenge to the US over an ally that "punishes its people for thinking."
This is a country that has subjected its people to imprisonment, torture and even death for daring to desire democracy. No one has been properly held to account for systematic abuses that have affected thousands. Is this the kind of ally America wants? The kind that punishes its people for thinking, that prevents…

To me as a human rights activist, our view is not what kind of government there should be, but rather it’s making sure we have a government that respects human rights.
