Call for free elections in Bahrain
Bahrain is to hold parliamentary elections on November 24. The validity of the vote, however, has been thrown into question following a ban on opposition parties and jailed activists.
The ruling monarchy in Bahrain has launched a heavy-handed crackdown on dissent since 2011 when pro-democracy protests began.
Human Rights Watch says Bahrains repressive political environment is not conducive to free elections.
