Salah Al Bandar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr Salah Al Bandar is a Sudanese-born Briton, known for his role in revealing the Bandargate scandal in Bahrain. Al Bandar had been working as a strategic planning adviser to the Cabinet Affairs Ministry of Bahrain since October 2006. On September 13, 2006 he was arrested and deported to London by Bahraini officials after he distributed a report revealing a conspiracy to suppress the Shia in Bahrain (who form the majority of the population). Scandal that ensued was named after him, Bandargate.
Al Bandar is the secretary general of the Gulf Centre for Democratic Development, a London-registered non-governmental organisation.
