    Today marks 90 days on hunger strike for Dr. Abdul Jalil Al-Singace

    Dr. Abdul Jalil Al-Singace is a Bahraini scholar and a retired professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Bahrain, sentenced to life in prison. After participating in a pro-democracy protest in March 2011, authorities arrested Dr. Al-Singace and he has been imprisoned ever since. Dr. Al-Singace was previously detained from August 2010 to February 2011 after delivering a speech on human rights. On July 8, 2021, Dr. Al-Singace began a hunger strike to protest his ill-treatment in Jau Prison and to demand the return of a book that was in his possession to his family.

    Recommendations concerning the draft European Parliament report on human rights and democracy in the world and the European Union’s policy on the matter – annual report 2021.

    SAR Europe welcomes the inclusion of academic freedom in the draft European Parliament’s report on human rights and democracy in the world and the European Union’s policy on the matter – annual report 2021. However, in advance of the adoption of the report, given the strong attention to academic freedom evident in recent activities of the European Commission, including in the EU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy 2020-2024, SAR Europe recommends the incorporation of additional language, drawn in part from the European Parliament 2018 Recommendation on Defence of Academic Freedom in the EU's external action.

    European Commission’s 2021 Rule of Law Report

    The European Commission’s annual review of the status of the rule of law across all 27 EU Member States is an important initiative. SAR Europe particularly welcomes the clear acknowledgement in the 2021 rule of law report of the substantive threat posed by strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs). SLAPPs work to silence public criticism through expensive, meritless legal proceedings, and scholars often find themselves amongst the victims of these oppressive tools. However, SAR Europe also recognises significant limitations to the annual reporting processes and makes the following suggestions for future reports.
