What is a human rights career like? How should public schools teach the history of human rights? Does the wizarding world of Harry Potter uphold human rights? For answers to all of these questions, you're listening to the Rights Pod. The Rights Pod is produced by the Center for Human Rights and International Justice at Stanford University. Each week, current and former human rights students will discuss human rights—from how they are implemented in the international system to human rights in small places, close to home.

  • Bahrain’s ‘forgotten revolution’ of 2011

    Bahrain’s ‘forgotten revolution’ of 2011
    Mar 31 2022
    Stanford senior Gabby Conforti and Stanford alumna Shivonne Logan ('19) sit down with Dr. Saeed al-Shehabi, to discuss Bahrain’s “forgotten revolution” of 2011. Bahrain experienced political upheaval and protests as the sentiments of the Arab Spring swept the region in 2011. However, unlike many of its Arab peers, Bahrain’s revolution was widely ignored and suppressed. The country has drawn international criticism as opposition leaders have faced imprisonment, torture, revocation of citizenship, and even execution. Gabby, Shivonne, and Dr. Shehabi contextualize the protests, and Dr. Shehabi shares his story as a Bahraini pro-democratic leader during the movement.
