Bahrain Mirror- Exclusive: The Bandw website published a group of 15 caricatures in "an artistic protest against the unlawful arrest of Nabeel Rajab and the human rights violations in Bahrain."

The website noted that Nabeel Rajab is a human rights defender and President of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights. He has faced physical intimidation, arrest, detention and travel bans as a result of his work and has been sentenced to prison in violation of rights of assembly and expression.

Recently a new charge of "undermining the prestige of the kingdom" was filed against him for just an opinion piece, he wrote in New York Times exposing the poor condition of human rights in Bahrain, according to Bandw.

The website demands through the cartoons the immediate release of Nabeel Rajab and the protection of human rights and free speech in Bahrain.
