The Al Bander report refers to a political conspiracy by government officials in Bahrain to foment sectarian strife and marginalize the majority Shia community in the country. The conspiracy was led and financed by Ahmed bin Ateyatalla Al Khalifa, Minister of Cabinet Affairs and head of the Civil Informatics Organization and member of the Al Khalifa royal family. The allegations were revealed in September 2006, in a 240-page document produced by the Gulf Centre for Democratic Development, and authored by Salah Al Bandar, an adviser to the Cabinet Affairs Ministry. Following the distribution of the report, Bahraini police deported Al Bandar to the United Kingdom, where he holds citizenship.
According to Al Bander, the Minister in Bahrain paid five main operatives a total of more than $2.7 million to run:
a secret intelligence cell spying on Shi’as
‘GONGOs’ – government operated bogus NGOs like the ‘Bahraini Jurists Society’ and the ‘Bahrain Human Rights Watch Society’
internet forums and websites that foment sectarian hatred
subsidisation of ‘new converts’ from Shia Islam to Sunnism
