Bahraini authorities faced a challenging week as they hosted the 146th session of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Assembly from 11 to 15 March 2023, welcoming hundreds of representatives from all over the world. During the event, a number of participants shed light on human rights violations in Bahrain and the imprisonment of regime critics, including Danish Bahraini citizen Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja, who has been held behind bars since 2011.
