Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain (ADHRB) is a civil and social organization focused on advancing democracy and human rights in Bahrain. The group engages with U.S. government actors, NGO coalitions, the Bahraini-American community, international human rights bodies, and the broader U.S. public to advocate for policies that support Bahraini rights. Based in Washington, DC, ADHRB positions itself within the broader human rights landscape by documenting abuses and elevating awareness around Bahrain’s security practices and political prisoner issues. The organization operates with a relatively small staff and collaborates on research and advocacy initiatives, including joint reports such as those examining system-wide abuses and police state dynamics. A recent development includes the release of a report on Bahraini women political prisoners and a companion exposé on police practices, illustrating ongoing efforts to illuminate human rights concerns in Bahrain.
