Bahrain Mirror: The Court of Cassation ordered the National Institution for Human Rights to reinstate a Bahraini employee who was arbitrarily fired when the administration of the establishment was changed. The court bound the institution to pay the attorney's fees.

According to the plaintiff's lawyer, the man worked as a part-timer at the institution for fifteen months back in the years 2013, 2014. On August 17, 2014, the Secretary General of the institution appointed the man as a full-time employee due to his excellent performance. The decision was implemented on September 1 of the same year.

After the secretary-general of the institution retired, the plaintiff was given the choice by the officials at the institution to "either return to his part-time job or leave the establishment". The administration also informed the Social Insurance Organisation (SIO) that the man was sacked as the head of the intuition didn't approve his employment. 

The lawyer said this happened eight months after the man was assigned his new job and shortly after the Secretary-General, who hired the man as a full-time employee, had retired.
