رسالة من الدكتور محمد عيسى للطلبة الخمسة المحكومين

الدكتور محمد عيسى الخاقاني - أستاذ التاريخ (سابقاً) جامعة البحرين

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الى الطلبة الأعزاء وهم في السجن

جميعكم السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

يسعدني ان اكتب اليكم من غربتي الى سجنكم ،  لاحييكم وانتم تدخلون عامكم الاول خلف القضبان

الأعزاء ،  ان الله اذا احب عبدا امتحنه بمثل ما امتحن الانبياء والرسل

لقد دخلتم السجن مظلومين كما دخل نبي الله يوسف عليهم السلام

وسوف تخرجون مرفوعي الرأس مثله وتتمون دراستكم ان شاءالله وتتخرجون بتفوق وتخدمون وطنكم كما فعل يوسف عليه السلام

اعلموا ان الله سبحانه وتعالى قد ابتلاكم بالسجن ليمحصكم ويصقلكم رجالا بالقول والفعل وذهبا والماسا في الثمن

أدعوكم ان تستفيدوا من سجنكم هذا وتخرجوا وقد وضعتم منهجا جديدا لحياتكم لان الجميع ينظرون الى افعالكم وليس اعماركم

لقد انجزتم بحمد الله خطوة مهمة في حياتكم وتخطيتم اصعب المراحل ولم يبق الا النزر اليسير من طريقكم

جميعنا أساتذة وطلبة نفخر بكم ونتذكركم ونترسم بيننا خطاكم وجميع جامعات العالم تفخر بامثالكم

ارجو منكم ان لا تيأسوا او تقنطوا فرحمة الله واسعة وانتم مظلومون ولن تبقوا طويلا في السجن

تعلمون ان السجن الواقعي هو في نفس البشر ، فكم بيننا يعيش اناس مسجونون وهم طلقاء ، سجنتهم عبوديتهم للسلطة والمال ، وكم من المساجين لا تسعهم الدنيا أحرارا بأفكارهم وطموحاتهم وهم وراء القضبان وانتم منهم

ادعو الله عز وجل المنان الرحمن الرحيم وارجوه واتوسل اليه ان يفك سجنكم بحق محمد وآل محمد ، انه سميع مجيب

واستودعكم الله على امل ان تكون رسالتي القادمة اليكم هي التهنئة في خروجكم من السجن ان شاءالله

والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

محمد

Name: Jawad Jassim Mohammed Al Mahari

Age: 24 years old

Date of Arrest: 29^th March 2011

Jawad is a student at the College of Law at the University of Bahrain with excellent academic record. He was summoned for investigation by the university’s administration on 29^th March 2011; however he was arrested at dawn that same day in a home raid by security forces. Jawad complained of being beaten from the beginning of his arrest until his arrival at the ASRY detention center. He was kicked and beaten with a plastic hose and heavy electric cables. He was subjected to physical harm where they would put out cigarettes on his body, spit in his mouth and forced him to stand for long periods of time. He remained blindfolded and handcuffed for 12 days where he was interrogated and subjected to beatings, torture and verbal abuse. Jawad was taken to the Military Court without notifying his family or a lawyer. He was not allowed to meet with his family/lawyer until his second trial (3 months after his arrest), and he complained of being beaten at the court by security forces.

His story (below) was written by his brother (Muntadhar) who not only was arrested the same night, but also subjected to the same events/conditions

The Investigation in the University

Jawad received a call at 11 am from the University of Bahrain’s vice president and dean of students affairs (Osama AlJowdar) asking him to come to campus for investigation regarding the incidents of 13^th March 2011.

The date was set to be the next day (29^th March 2011), he was arrested at the dawn of that day.

The Arrest

A group of masked men broke into his house at almost 1:30 am on 29^th March 2011 and asked if he was Jawad then asked him to bring his identity card along.

They took him out of the house but another group went upstairs to arrest his younger brother, Muntadhar, who is also a student at the University of Bahrain.

Huge numbers of Police vehicles were outside of his house and surrounding it.

Note: Police mercenaries broke several doors and threatened the residents of the house by aiming guns to their heads.

Jawad’s hands were cuffed very tight which led to inflation in his left hand, he was hit on the head before he was taken into the police bus and he was insulted with many swear words on the way to the police station.
