Bahraini dissident lodges complaint with London police, claiming embassy staff beat and threatened to throw him off the roof of Bahrain’s embassy in the UK in July
"We have two people being executed in Bahrain and you will be the third," one of the embassy staffers told Abd Ali, his statement to the police said. In a Twitter post, Abd Ali said he believes the staffers "attempted to murder" him.
Abd Ali earlier wrote on his Twitter page that he was demonstrating against the execution of two men, named by him as Shia citizens Ali al Arab and Ahmed al Malali, on terror charges. A police statement at the time confirmed that they were called to "the Embassy of The Kingdom of Bahrain at 22:47hrs on Friday, 27 July following a report of a man on the roof of the building.""The man ... was arrested for trespass ... He is currently in police custody."Campaigners said the authorities broke down the door, although the London Fire Brigade would not confirm this account.
The footage also showed police demanding that embassy staff "get away from" the protester while he was on the roof.
