Welcome to the German Embassy Manama
Statement of the German Ambassador on the bomb attacks in Al-Daih on 3 March 2014
I was deeply shocked when I learned last night about the new bomb attacks in Al-Daih that killed three on-duty policemen. I offer my sincere condolences to the families of the victims. I call again on all parties to refrain from inciting violence and to reject it unequivocally in all its forms. Violence is detrimental to overcoming the political differences and to preparing the ground for a sustainable reform process. The new, dangerous escalation of violence shows once again the urgent need for a serious and inclusive National Dialogue as initiated by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa and supported by the majority of the Bahraini people. Germany stands by the Bahraini people and wishes the political efforts to find a solution to the ongoing crisis every success.
Legal cooperation
From 18 to 20 November 2013, the German Foundation for International Legal Cooperation (IRZ), supported by the Federal Foreign Office, held seminars for prosecutors and judges in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice as well as training seminars for members of the newly created Ombudsman Office and the reformed National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR).

German Development Media Awards presented
At a presentation in Berlin, seven journalists have been honoured with the German Development Media Award for their excellent work in the field of human rights and development. This prize is awarded jointly by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and Deutsche Welle (DW).
The German Development Media Awards honor journalists who retain their independence, take on topics related to human rights and expose problems that usually are hardly covered or not covered at all by the media. They recognize courage and dedication and honor the people who advocate respecting and protecting human rights and who remind us that access to education and equal opportunities are universal rights.
