They Tried to Throw Me Off The Roof of the Bahraini Embassy I Exiled

In 2005, Moosa Mohammed was campaigning for human rights in his home country of Bahrain when he was kidnapped, beaten and sexually assaulted by masked men. He escaped and received asylum in the UK, where he has lived in exile ever since. He has continued to demonstrate against Bahraini human rights abuses and has remained a target of the government even overseas. His computer has been hacked remotely from Bahrain. In 2019, he scaled the Bahraini embassy in London in protest and was attacked by staff who threatened and beat him. Met police intervened, breaking custom to enter the embassy. Moosa thinks if they hadn’t, he would’ve become “a second Khashoggi."
