Human rights in Bahrain

Bahrain's record on human rights has been described by Human Rights Watch as "dismal", and having "deteriorated sharply in the latter half of 2010".[1] Their subsequent report in 2020 noted that the human rights situation in the country had not improved.[2]

LGBT concerns

Homosexuality is not illegal per se. Criminal sanctions against LGBT people in Bahrain tend to come from several very broadly written laws against perceived "immorality".
