Build Accountability into the Exercise of Discretion by Police and Prosecutors. Just as sectarian gap begins with discretionary decisions by front-line law enforcement personnel, so should remedies begin there. The credibility gap between Bahrain’ Shias and front-line law enforcement is deep, and it widens with every new report on racial profiling and every new account of police brutality. Closing this gap requires the following mechanisms to improve police accountability:  The development of national standards for accrediting law enforcement agencies.  The national standards should include specific guidance on stop and search procedures; the use of force; and interaction between police officers and multi-cultural communities.  The standards should expressly prohibit racial and sectarian profiling of any kind.  Improved training of current and incoming judges and police officers to bring judiciary system and police departments into compliance with the international standards.  We demand that the Bahraini state media does not encourage hate and discrimination against any community, including the Shia in Bahrain.
