October 9, 2008 Dear Colleague, Please join the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission and the Congressional Task Force on International Religious Freedom for a briefing on the "Impact of Political Reform on Religious Freedom in BAHRAIN." The briefing, chaired by Rep. Frank Wolf, will be held at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, October 15, in 2168 Rayburn. It is open to the public. This past June, BAHRAIN successfully completed its Universal Periodic Review for election to the United Nations Human Rights Council. Despite approval by the Council, concern still looms regarding BAHRAIN's commitment to human rights and religious freedom. Despite reforms decreed by King Shaikh Hamad bin 'Isa Al Khalifa in 2001-02, Human Rights Watch criticized new laws containing provisions that undermine human rights and the reform measures.

The also report indicates that Shiites are underrepresented in the Ministry of Education, whereas Sunnis often ...
